The Reno County Public Works Department announced the project's completion, ending a closure between Victory Road and Haven Road that began April 8. The reopening offers relief to local drivers who navigated detours for more than four months while crews dismantled and rebuilt the aging structure.
The Lake Cable Road completion comes as the county actively advances several other major infrastructure and civic initiatives. On July 23, the Reno County Commission unanimously awarded an $807,405 contract to King Construction Company for a separate bridge replacement on Castleton Road, and the county recently advanced tax-exempt bonds for a renewable natural gas facility at the local landfill. Officials have also been busy finalizing the latest election cycle, meeting Wednesday to officially canvass and certify the results of the Aug. 4 primary election.
