Traffic is moving again on Route 59 in Buchanan County. Flooding had closed the highway between Route 45 and Atchison, Kansas, since June 27th.
Herzog Contracting repaired and resurfaced the 3-mile stretch of pavement. MODOT warns that drivers may still experience delays once they reach the Amelia Earhart bridge because K-DOT is making bridge deck repairs.
That project is scheduled for completion in mid-December.
