Traffic flow within the 41st Street project in north Hays has changed.
According to Hays Public Works Director I.D. Creech, the traffic pattern from houses in the area now flows west. Through traffic is prohibited.
“We’ve been talking about this street widening project for some time,” Creech said. “It’s a KDOT project, so we don’t have much control over it, but it’s still on track to be completed in spring 2015.”
The intersection of 41st and Hall Street will be the next section of work.
“That intersection will have to be closed, so we’ll be alerting the public about how drivers should avoid that area,” Creech said.
41st Street is being widened between Hall Street and the U.S. 183 Bypass. A bike and pedestrian lane also will be added.
