HUTCHINSON, Kan. — After a one-week delay, Reno County Commissioners approved vacating a portion of Mohawk Road during Tuesday’s meeting.
The road along the east side of the landfill is being closed so the landfill can move its entryway and scale house east to the road's present location. It's part of an overall plan to give a facelift to the landfill facilities.
The closing also allows the landfill to use land east of the road. Action on the matter was delayed so a cul-de-sac that is needed could be expanded to fit larger vehicles. Three easements for Evergy and IdeaTek were also approved as part of the overall project.
The road has seen little use ever since it was closed off at the railroad tracks along Blanchard Road Southwest.
