HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Temporary repairs are completed on the Woodie Seat Freeway, according to a post from the city of Hutchinson. The road reopened as of 5 p.m. Monday afternoon.
The freeway was closed in both directions from Avenue A to Avenue F after the approaches to the bridge over Avenue B failed. Public Works Director Brian Clennan told Hutch Post the road failed because the subsurface gave way, causing the concrete to break apart.
The long term future of the Woodie Seat Freeway is up for discussion at Tuesday's Hutchinson City Council meeting.
