May 11, 2026 3:10 pm


Douglas County Public Works announces that N 1400 Road, also known as County Route 442, will be closed starting Monday, May 18, between E 2300 Road and E 2400 Road for a bridge replacement project. The area is east of Eudora, near the Johnson County line.

Access will be maintained for nearby properties throughout the project.

The existing weight-restricted bridge was built by the state in 1931 as part of the original K-10 Highway project. The project is included in Douglas County’s Capital Improvement Plan and is estimated to cost $1.2 million. The project is expected to take about four months, weather permitting.
