From the City of Great Bend...
Venture Corporation will begin working on K-96 Highway and the street improvement projects on or about June 5. These projects will be worked on simultaneously.
The project will encompass K-96, from 10th street to the city limits. K-96 will be reduced to one lane. McKinley Street, 10th to 8th with the closure of 8th at McKinley on the east and west sides. Residents will still be able to access their homes on 8th, as well as continue to access the businesses on McKinley. There will also be repairs done to Almond, Buckeye, Cedar, Dogwood, Evergreen and Firethorn.
Each part of this project will differ in the amount of time for completion, but the city expects the project as a whole to take upwards of two months depending on weather and unforeseen circumstances. Please be attentive and aware as crews work to make repairs in these areas.
