HAYS – Ellis County Public Works crews will be conducting an asphalt overlay on a portion of Toulon Avenue on Monday, Aug. 27.

According to Public Works, crews will begin working at the north ramp of the intersection of Toulon Avenue and Interstate 70 and continue north for a half-mile ending at the intersection of Toulon Avenue and Air Base Road.

This stretch of Toulon Avenue will be closed to through traffic on Monday and expected to reopen when construction is complete. Work is expected to take one day to complete.

Motorists in the affected area should use alternate routes of travel until the project is complete.

The work was originally scheduled for Aug. 20 but was delayed because of the weather.
