The city of Hays’ chip seal project is at the half-way point. Wednesday morning, crews were working on Western Plains in east Hays.

Various streets are restricted to drivers during installation of the chip seal.

Residents along those streets have been notified directly by the contractor completing the work.

The project, part of the 2013 street maintenance project, is expected to completed Thursday, weather permitting.
