Venture Corporation wrapped up the resurfacing of Great Bend’s 2024 street project. The company will begin striping the streets this week and next week.

The resurfacing project this year tackled three heavily trafficked streets of Harrison Street, 24th Street and the 281 Bypass. The $938,900 project included 13 blocks of asphalt resurfacing.

Mayor Cody Schmidt and Public Works Director Jason Cauley noticed a section of the 281 Bypass, near 10th Street, that was lower causing puddles after the rain.

"It's also where the asphalt is meeting 10th Street," said Schmidt. "With moisture Monday, it puddled really bad there."

"We'll bring it to Venture's attention and have them take a look at that," responded Cauley. "We have not done final assessments on those yet."

On the 281 Bypass, work stretched from 10th to Main. On 24th Street, the project went from the Bypass to McCormick Street. On Harrison Street, work went from 10th to Broadway.

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