Crews with Evergy will be raising a new transmission line across U.S. Highway 71 at 340th Street, just south of Arkoe, Friday morning.

Intermittent rolling closures will be used around 9 AM. During that time, access to and from 340th Street may be blocked. Motorists should expect delays.

This work was originally slated for Wednesday.
