Kansas Turnpike plans to close the East Lawrence interchange at Exit 204 by April 5 as part of a $130 million overhaul through Lawrence. The closure will cut traffic and revenue for local retailers like Brett Sullivan, who runs the Presto at 1030 N Third St and oversees four Lawrence stores. Traffic detours from North Second and Locust streets began last August and will continue through next month with quieter work into August.
