Following a break during Tuesday’s crazy weather, workers are back on the Vine Street reconstruction job between 13^th and 22^nd Streets in Hays.

The west-side southbound lanes, along with the center turn lane, are closed.  Traffic is re-directed to the east side of Vine with one lane in each direction.  Left turns are prohibited in the construction zone.

Some access points to businesses on the west side of Vine Street are closed, requiring use of alternate access from side streets, alleys, and across adjacent properties.

Assistant Public Works Director John Braun expects this first phase of construction to last until late May.
