Substation Work Means Atchison Street Closing
09/08/2017

(KAIR)--Ongoing work related to the new Westar substation in Atchison will mean the need for an alternate route for motorists.

That's due to the upcoming closure of South 4th Street, from Smith Street to Q Street.

According to a press release issued by the City of Atchison, the closure will take effect Wednesday, September 13 and remain in place until early November.

The release states the City recommends motorists use 5th Street as an alternate route during the closure.

The release calls the work, which requires the closure, “a necessary component of Westar Energy's new Amelia Earhart Substation Project. Closing the street will allow workers to safely construct a connection from the new substation on the west side of 4th Street with the existing LFM, or Bradken, Substation, on the east side of 4th Street.”
