Effective immediately, 8th Street between Milner and Vine Street has been opened to two-way traffic.
The reconstruction of 8th Street has moved into Phase 4, which allows traffic to move in both directions.
Eastbound traffic remains in the south lane and westbound traffic is allowed in the center lane. The north lane remains closed to traffic as the contractor finishes up sidewalk and other work behind the north curb line.
All businesses on both sides of 8th Street have new driveways and full access to 8th Street.
This traffic control configuration is scheduled to last through the remainder of the project. The entire project should be complete by the end of November.
Signs are in place to direct the traveling public. Motorists should use caution through the construction zone.
The city of Hays regrets any inconvenience this may cause to the public. If there are any questions, please call the Public Works Department at 785-628-7350 or the contractor, Morgan Brothers Construction at 785-432-3104 or 785-394-1777.
