23rd Street road work to start this month in Lawrence
City crews will begin 23rd Street resurfacing this month with weather permitting. Intermittent lane closures and rough surfaces are expected as work proceeds from the O'Reilly Auto Parts area to Checkers and Walgreen. New pavement, brighter lane markings, straightened crosswalks, and added video traffic signals aim to improve safety and later game-day traffic coordination. The project, funded by a $200,000 state grant and bids from Bettis, LRM Industries, Sunflower Paving, and Hamm Inc., is estimated near $576,858.
