HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A very busy stretch of road in Hutchinson will be closed for nearly three hours Thursday. Hutchinson Public Works received a report Monday about a damaged sanitary sewer main crossing the Grandview Industrial ditch located along East 17th Avenue and Airport Road. 

Starting Thursday, May 26, at 10:30 a.m., East 17th Avenue at Faubion and Airport Road at 11th Avenue will be closed to all through traffic. During this time, the Sewer Maintenance Division will re-establish service of the sanitary sewer main. The street should open again by 1 p.m.

During the work, traffic will be detoured around the area as follows:

  1. Eastbound traffic on 17th and northbound traffic on Airport Road will need to use 11th Avenue and Halstead Street to bypass the closed section of street. 
  2. Southbound traffic on Apple Lane will need to use 11th Avenue and Halstead Street to access Airport Road.
  3. Eastbound traffic on 17th to Apple Lane will not be affected.
  4. Access to Arconic and Lowen will be provided from East 11th via Alcoa Drive or the 11th and Airport intersection.
