From the City of Great Bend...
Phillips Southern Electric Company is setting up traffic control with anticipation of potentially starting work next week on the US-56 Highway and McKinley Street intersection to replace the signal equipment.
They have set up traffic control to reduce westbound traffic to one lane on US 56 at the intersection and the McKinley Street eastbound turn lane has been blocked at the intersection. Anticipate changes in traffic control as the project progresses.
The city expects the work to take at least two months, dependent on the weather and unforeseen circumstances. Please be attentive and aware as crews work to make repairs in the area.
If you have any questions or concerns, contact Craig Schartz, KDOT Construction Engineer at Craig.Schartz@ks.gov or Sreehitha Kadiyala, Assistant City Engineer at skadiyala@greatbendks.net.
