PITTSBURG, Kan. — Highway K-7, particularly the section of it north of Girard where there is no shoulder, and which has seen numerous semi rollover accidents in recent months and years, has long been a headache for Crawford County officials that they’ve hoped the state could help remedy. On Friday, they got some good news. County Commissioner Bruce Blair reported to his fellow commissioners Friday on a Kansas Department of Transportation meeting he attended earlier in the week about plans for improvements to K-7 — a project that is going to be “a lot bigger than I thought it was,” he said.
