Motorists will be able to drive Hesston Road (Old 81) between Newton and Hesston as soon as next week. Construction on the stretch of road has kept it closed since March. This week Harvey County stated in a release that the construction will soon be completed by Pearson Construction on that stretch of road. “Shoulder work, permanent striping and permanent signing on that section will begin later this week and is projected to be completed early next week, and upon completion, will reopen Hesston Road in full between the Hesston and Newton city limits,” the release stated.
