HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutchinson Public Works continues to make repairs to the Woodie Seat Freeway.
The freeway is 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 says the road failed because the subsurface gave way, causing the concrete to break apart. Clennan says they are waiting for some materials and then warmer weather to lay the new road.
Clennan says plans to do something to repair or renovate the roadway and bridges must come soon.
If all goes as planned, the freeway should be open by Monday, Jan. 31. Until then, motorists must enter or exit the freeway at Avenue F.
