HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Motorists who use Yoder Road will be facing a major road project this summer.

Reno County commissioners will vote to approve a contract for mill and overlay of the road from G Avenue all the way to Arlington Road in Yoder.

The mill and overlay of the 10-mile stretch would be done by Flint Hills Materials if the commission approves the bid. Work would start no later than June 1 and should be completed no later than Aug. 1. The cost of the project is $1,327,943 — which is less than the engineer’s estimate of $1,997,075.

The road will still be open during the project, but traffic will be controlled, so motorists could face delays.

The commission will take up the matter during Tuesday’s regular agenda session.
