Road work closes lanes across Lawrence resealing bridges
City plans multiple traffic reductions across Lawrence beginning this week. Westbound traffic on the 23rd Street bridge narrows to one lane for concrete curing. A Sixth Street center turn lane project starts Wednesday with inside lanes closed near Hy Vee for median removal, lasting two weeks. Additional lane reductions occur on Kentucky Street and Clinton Parkway as crews replace curbing and pour new concrete. Kasold Drive near 31st Street narrows both directions to one lane while rebuilding. A portion of the Kansas River levee trail will close for 20 months due to Bowersock plant construction with a detour via Second and Locust streets. The overlay program to resurface roads begins, with temporary single-lane closures possible. Traffic delays expected during rush hours with maps online.
