Work will begin on Monday, June 6th on two bridge replacements on K-140 just west of the Ellsworth/Saline County line or 1.97 and 2.1 miles east of the K-140/K-141 junction. The existing bridges will be removed and replaced with new bridges (culverts).

Plans call for the construction of the new bridges to be completed by December 6th, weather permitting.
