HUTCHINSON, Kan. —The City of Hutchinson will begin a roadway improvement project on W 30th Street between N Main St and N Adams starting Monday, March 24th. The project will involve the removal of the existing road, curb, and gutter on the north side of 30th Street. The road will be narrowed to create space for a new multi-use trail along the north side.
In addition to removing the old road infrastructure, crews will install a new base, asphalt pavement, curb and gutter, and pavement markings, and perform grading in the affected areas. This work will help improve both the safety and accessibility of the street for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers.
During construction, thru traffic will be closed between Main and Adams streets. Motorists are advised to follow the posted detour route via 17th Avenue, Monroe Street, and Main Street. Residents will have access to 30th Street, but there will be lane changes, lane reductions, and active construction in the area.
The closure of thru traffic will begin Monday, March 24th, and the project is expected to last approximately 7 weeks. Drivers and pedestrians are encouraged to use caution and follow all detour signs in place during construction.
