Three of the larger, or more trafficked, streets in Great Bend are undergoing repairs. In September, the Great Bend City Council approved a $938,900 project to include 13 blocks of asphalt resurfacing.

City Administrator Logan Burns said work started Monday and will continue for at least two weeks.

"Venture came out and began work on Harrison Street, 24th Street and the 281 Bypass," said Burns. "They're doing patching on the project then they'll start paving."

Venture submitted the lone bid for the city’s 2024 street resurfacing project.

On the 281 Bypass, work will stretch from 10th to Main. On 24th Street, the project goes from the Bypass to McCormick Street. On Harrison Street, work goes from 10th to Broadway. Flaggers have been situated at certain intersections to guide motorists.

The project is paid for through the quarter-cent sales tax.
