Hutchinson Mayor Stacy Goss was in to visit on the BW Morning Show, she talked about the project that began on Monday in northern Hutchinson, 30th Avenue between Main Street and Adams Street.
“So that is something that was requested in the budget in, I want to say 2023 and then it got moved. Something else swooped in and took its place”, said Goss.
This is more than just a repaving project, as she discussed.

“So not only are we improving the surface of the road, but there's also some critical infrastructure underneath that we will be taking a look at. And then from there, the surface level improvements that people will see, some lane changes, a biking walking path on the north side, and then, of course, resurfacing that whole spot” she added.
The detour route is to go down to 17th Avenue and across to Adams or Main depending on which way you are headed. The mayor explained by the detour goes down to 17th Avenue.
So we follow Kansas Department of Transportation guidelines when creating a detour. So that's the detour for truck traffic. If you're just a regular Joe trying to get across town, you can cut through town a number of different ways, obviously, but that is the truck traffic route.
The project along 30th Avenue is expected to take approximately seven weeks to complete.
