Public Works announces Wallsburg Road closure and culvert work with August 6 target completion

Alvin Perez, operations manager with Riley County Public Works, announced a road‑work project affecting Wallsburg Road at the Alenbeck intersection. Perez said crews will close or block a mile in each direction during the project, relocate a culvert, and post signage beginning the Monday of the identified start week (the transcript lists either July 20 or July 27 as the start). He told commissioners crews expect to finish by Thursday, August 6, weather permitting.

Perez answered routine scheduling questions and noted that the project will require short‑term detours. No funding numbers or contractor names were provided in the transcript; Perez said signage will be laid out the week the work begins and encouraged residents to watch for posted notices.
