Road and Bridge's hot mix asphalt overlay program for 2024 will start Monday.
The project will begin on West Dutch Avenue, starting at North Halstead Road and progressing toward the Hesston city limit. After that, work will move to Northwest 36th Street, from Harvey County West Park eastward toward North Halstead Road.
Roadways will remain open to traffic during the project. Traffic will be controlled and directed by flaggers and pilot car. Residents will have access to their properties throughout the overlay program, but delays may be possible.
The HMA overlay will be completed by Pearson Construction. The work is anticipated to be fulfilled in 35 working days, contingent on weather. Please drive safe and allow the road crews space to complete these improvements.Photos from Harvey County Government's post
