Lawrence to close streets for several months road work
North Lawrence and East Lawrence will see multiple construction projects starting this week. North Second and North Third streets will narrow to two lanes from the railroad overpass to I 70, with Lincoln Street closed to through traffic and a planned detour. Work on 11th Street between Connecticut and Delaware and a full 11th Street closure at New York Street aims to finish storm sewer upgrades, part of the NY Water Transmission Main Replacement. A new storm sewer should address water pooling, with reopening targeted by September 13. Also, one eastbound lane of 23rd Street from just west of Louisiana Street to just east of Louisiana Street is closed 9 am to 4 pm for WANRack fiber optic work, expected to end Friday.
