A five-block stretch of Douglas County Road 1055 that doubles as Sixth Street in Baldwin City will be reopened to traffic at 7 p.m. today, according to Douglas County Public Works.

The road had been closed since April 20 while work crews completed the $1 million project to replace a sewer line, as well as add curbs, gutters and sidewalks. The road was then repaved.

The project was started in August, shut down in December and restarted in April. The last of the work was expected to keep the road closed for 60 days, but it was completed ahead of that.

As County Road 1055 is opened, Orange Street, which has served as the detour around the project, will be closed. The temporary detour on Orange Street will be removed. It’s unclear how long that will take.
