Construction zones tighten traffic in Lawrence this summer
Lawrence faces busy road work as Sixth Street repaving from Iowa Street to Monterey Way starts with one lane open each direction and expected completion by August 10. Crews add right turn lanes at Sixth and Kasold while Massachusetts Street bridge work continues and a 23rd Street bridge project proceeds. Wakarusa Drive will be shut later this summer to rebuild Bob Billings Parkway intersection, with work beginning by late July. Drivers are urged to plan routes, expect delays, and drive safely amid Kansas summer construction.
