High temperatures in Hays caused 22nd Street and the nearby sidewalk to buckle at the Canterbury Drive intersection late Tuesday afternoon, closing 22nd between Douglas and Canterbury Drive.

The official high in Hays yesterday was 97 degrees, according to the report from the K-State Agricultural Research Center.

City of Hays Public Works employees have done some temporary work on the road.

The city issued a notice Wednesday afternoon that pavement repairs will begin Monday, July 22 at 7 a.m., requiring East 22nd to be closed to through traffic at Canterbury Drive.

The work is expected to be completed by Friday, July 26 at the end of of the day.
