On Monday, crews from the City of Great Bend began working on cleaning the storm sewers for the length of 10th Street.

Each day, crews will be out in the early morning hours, starting around 6 a.m., and will only work in these areas until 8 a.m. to minimize disruptions to traffic. They will move to other areas of town as traffic picks up. The work is expected to last for the rest of the duration of summer.

City officials ask motorists to please be careful and attentive when driving in these areas, especially during the early morning hours. Crews will have signage and an arrow board for advanced warning.

“We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and would like to thank the citizens of Great Bend for their patience,” a news release states.
