Kingfisher County District 2 Commissioner Mike Sparks is making good on his promise to deliver major road improvements in the Hennessey area. This week, work began on Cemetery Road, marking the start of a large-scale resurfacing project.
Crews are moving quickly, first grinding up the old asphalt, grading it smooth, and compacting it to form a new road base. After that, chip-and-seal crews follow with a sealing coat and a layer of ยพ-inch stone, topped with a finer layer of smaller rock to create a durable finished surface.
Over the past several months, Sparks and his team have been working to upgrade roughly 14 miles of county roads, with about 9 miles located in and around Hennessey. Roads included in the project are Cemetery, Mitchell, Conoco, and Exxon Roads.
At times, these roads may be temporarily closed, and residents are asked to limit use to local traffic only. Work is expected to be completed, weather permitting, by October 11.
For more information, contact Kingfisher County District 2 Commissioner Mike Sparks at 405-853-5113 or 405-853-4413.
