The Union Pacific Railroad has rescheduled the repair work on its crossing on U.S. 83 near Oakley. The repairs are now planned to take place Nov. 7 and 8.

During the work, the Kansas Department of Transportation will close U.S. 83 in both directions at the crossing, which is located just north of the U.S. 40 junction. Local traffic may continue to access the road up to the closure point. Through traffic will be detoured on I-70 and U.S. 40.

Union Pacific and its traffic control subcontractor will oversee the repairs of the crossing and traffic control signing.
