There is major highway construction taking place on U.S. 400 just outside of Fredonia for the next month.

 

An approximate three-mile stretch of the highway, which is 4.5 miles east of the junction with K-47 and downtown Fredonia, is receiving re-layering of asphalt on both sides of the road over the next four weeks. The traffic is cut down to one lane, and delays of 10-15 minutes should be anticipated.

 

The projected date of completion for the project is July 31st.

 

Additionally, items of business at this week's County Commission meeting was an update regarding the status of the Ness Bridge, which is awaiting bids for an inspection. County Clerk Kayla Busch also announced that Early Voting Day in Neodesha will be on July 21st from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

 

There will be no meeting next week due to the Fourth of July holiday. The commission will meet next on July 12th at 9 a.m. at the Wilson County Courthouse.
