Come next week, the Kansas Department of Transportation plans to close part of Kansas Highway 31 just east of Osage City.
The closure, which affects K-31 from South Indian Hills Road east to US Highway 75, is part of the K-31 realignment project. Construction is set to begin Monday. Work could continue until early November.
Thru traffic will need to go north to US Highway 56 through Burlingame and Scranton to access US-75.
