BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT Starting in early July, the Kansas Department of Transportation will begin a bridge replacement project along U.S. 83 near Oberlin in De-catur County. Crews will be replacing the Sappa Creek Drainage bridge located approximately 3/4 of a mile south of the U.S. 36 junc-tion. Traffic will be reduced to one lane with a 14-foot width restriction through the construction zone and controlled by stop lights. U.S. 83 will not be accessible from West Columbia Street and Mill Street, and those living adjacent to the construction will need to use an alternate access to U.S. 83. Work is expected to be completed in November, weather permitting. KDOT awarded the construction contract, totaling approximately $1 million, to Bridges Inc. of Newton. The project is funded by T-WORKS, the transportation program passed by the Kan-sas legislature in May 2010. Find out more about this and other T-WORKS projects at http://kdotapp.ksdot.org/TWORKS.

FOURTH OF JULY TRAVEL AAA is projecting that the Fourth of July travel volume will be highest on record for this holiday period with nearly 43 million Americans trav-eling 50 miles or more away from home. The holiday travel period is defined as Thursday, June 30 to Monday, July 4. Low fuel prices are providing families with more funds to spend on travel, says AAA. U.S. drivers have saved about $20 billion on gasoline so far this year com-pared to the same period in 2015. Nearly eighty-five percent of holi-day travelers, more than 36 million, will drive to their destination. Air travel is expected to increase more than two percent with 3.3 million Americans flying during the holiday period. Another 3.3 million will use other modes of transportation including cruises, trains and buses. The fuel costs savings for air carriers are being passed on to consumers in the form of lower air rates. According to AAA’s Leisure Travel Index which compares rates for the top 40 domestic flight routes, air rates are down nine percent compared to last year with an average round-trip ticket costing $207.

After five months of college baseball, the season will come down to one game. In the second game of Tuesday night's College World Series finals, Coastal Carolina and Arizona unfurled another pitching showdown in a 5-4 victory for the Chanticleers. The game itself was Monday's Game 1 turned inside out. On Monday, it was the Chanticleers who looked tight, made uncharacteristic fielding errors and failed to capitalize when runners reached base. On Tuesday, that role was played by the Wildcats, who offi-cially left nine base runners stranded, but in reality, the number was much higher. On Monday, Arizona essentially won the game in the night's first frame, with a ground-rule double to build a lead it would never surrender. On Tuesday, the Wildcats once again took a 1-0 lead but only after a bizarre series that included a failed squeeze bunt with the bases load and ended with an out and nearly a caught-stealing double play. "That was a play we had success with in the regional final against Louisiana [Lafayette]," Ari-zona coach Jay Johnson said. "Scoring first has been a big deal out here [in Omaha] ... and he didn't bunt at the pitch. That's what happened." Mike Morrison tied a College World Series finals record with 10 strikeouts against Arizona in Game 2.

Matt Carpenter homered and seven Cardinals drove in runs in an 8-4 win over the Royals on Tuesday night to even the I-70 Series at Kauffman Sta-dium. The Royals, who have dealt with several injuries to key players, had another scare as center fielder Lorenzo Cain left the game in the seventh inning after straining his left hamstring. "The docs are going to look at [Cain]. We'll evaluate him [Wednesday]," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "Obviously it's a hamstring strain. To what degree, we don't know." The Cardinals remained 10 games behind the Cubs, while the Royals fell to six back of the red-hot Indians, who won their 11th straight on Tuesday. For the Cardinals, Tuesday's victory made them 5-3 on this three-city road trip. "We usually look at everything very strategically, one [game] at a time," Cardi-nals manager Mike Matheny said. "But as you review going into Chicago, going to Seattle, coming here, and coming out 5-3, that's a good trip. This was a tough ask. It's been a tough month. The two teams kick off a two-game series tonight in St. Louis. Pregame coverage on 1300 KBRL-AM starts at 6:30 p.m.
