Road access for U S 50 project vacated in Holcomb
Holcomb finney County commissioners approved vacating a portion of the U S 50 access road fronting C C A D Truck Parts at the request of Carson and Clydeen Hobbs. The action ends public access to the stretch, affects nearby businesses, and was part of a larger plan with KDOT to pave and detour during the four lane widening from Garden City to IBP Road. The Rapps had previously had their road vacated, and Presto may file for its own vacated segment while Hobbs seeks a new entrance through KDOT.
