On Dec. 3, 2015, Barton County was given the Kansas Asphalt Pavement Association Inc.’s second-place Full Depth Paving Award for Asphalt Pavement for work done on Railroad Avenue. It was awarded for “the outstanding engineering contribution to achieve quality hot mix asphalt pavement in Kansas,” Engineering Technician Darren Williams told the Barton County Commission Monday morning. The $350.000 project, which was completed last summer, involved Railroad Avenue from Washington Street west to U.S. 56.
