On Thursday, the contractor will begin setting up traffic control which will switch traffic over to the west side of the intersection of 27th and Hall in Hays while the east side of that intersection is reconstructed.
Hall Street traffic will be carried through head-to-head in the west lanes of the intersection similar to how it is currently carried through the east lanes of the intersection.
Since 27th Street will be blocked off just east of Hall Street, 27th Street traffic will be detoured using Canal Blvd. and 29th Street or Walnut and 17th Street. Those two detour options are shown on the detour map below in blue and yellow respectively.
This phase of construction will take approximately four to five weeks, according to John Braun, Hays project manager.
Once the intersection is finished the reconstruction of 27th Street between Hall and Fort will begin, work that will take nearly the rest of the year.
Braun said the entire project is scheduled to be completed in mid-November.
