Sewer line work to disrupt traffic
Work to repair a sanitary sewer line is expected to disrupt traffic on parts of Kentucky Street through the weekend.
City crews have closed the 800 block of Kentucky Street and Eighth Street from Vermont to Tennessee streets while they work on replacing a sewer line that had collapsed and created a small sinkhole in the road. Traffic is being detoured off of Kentucky Street at Ninth Street to the east or west.
The Lawrence Transit System is also rerouting bus routes Nos. 3, 4 and 6 counterclockwise. Riders normally boarding the bus on Kentucky Street behind the library or on Eighth Street should move north of Seventh Street to catch the bus.
