The Barton County Road and Bridge Department will be working on the McKinley Street bridge on Thursday. The road will be closed to through traffic from 7 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. from the north Great Bend City limit to NW 20 Road. 

Emergency vehicles will be able to pass, but should contact the crew via radio to get the road cleared. Work should take all day and the road will be opened for the evening. Repairs are being made to the guard rails due to numerous accidents. 

Call the Road and Bridge office at 620-793-1816 with any questions.
