Among major road projects scheduled in the area for the coming week:

Lawrence

• Ninth Street open for traffic between Highland Drive and Emery Road, but drivers may face delays as crews replace curbs along Ninth, from Emery to Tennessee streets, and prepare to repave lanes along that stretch.

• Traffic along Naismith Drive will be reduced to one lane in each direction between 18th and 23rd streets, for repaving.

• Contractors will be placing signs in preparation for reconstruction of the intersection of North Second and Locust streets in North Lawrence. Lane closures and detours are expected to take effect July 20.

• Drivers may encounter brief periods of slow traffic as construction continues for a new U.S. Highway 59 between Lawrence and Ottawa.

• Traffic continues to be limited along streets adjacent to the construction site for The Oread, near the northeastern end of Kansas University’s main campus.
