TOPEKA (KSNT) – Part of South Kansas Avenue in downtown Topeka is set to close beginning next week for continued work on the Polk-Quincy Viaduct project.
Officials with the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) said in a social media post that Kansas Avenue will be shut down between First Street and Third Street. The closures will occur from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday to Wednesday, Nov. 2-4.
KDOT staff said bridge girders will be installed on the new westbound section of the Polk-Quincy Viaduct. Drivers will be directed to a detour on Third Street, Topeka Boulevard and Northwest Morse Street. Drivers will still be able to use the Kansas Avenue bridge while this work is ongoing.
