Wheel Genius: Road work set for this week

Lawrence

• 19th Street will be closed from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday at Anna Drive so that Westar Energy can place a transformer at an electrical substation. Traffic will be detoured onto 23rd Street during the closure.

• A section of 15th Street, between Delaware Street and Haskell Avenue, remains closed as crews install a raised crosswalk as part of the ongoing Burroughs Creek Trail project.

• Drivers remain prohibited from turning left off North Second Street at Locust Street in North Lawrence as construction work continues at the intersection. The entire project is scheduled for completion in August.

• Pavement-patching work will cause intermittent delays on streets in North Lawrence. The city’s annual repaving program continues, with crews working on a number of residential streets.

• The right lane for traffic heading north on Iowa Street will remain closed this week from Harvard Road to Ninth Street as crews replace an underground waterline. Also continuing: intermittent lane and access closures west of Iowa on Orchard Lane, from Iowa to Centennial Drive; Westdale Road, from Harvard to Yale Road; and on Yale, from Westdale to Iowa. Centennial also remains closed to through traffic, from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily, from Ninth to Yale. Ninth Street east of Iowa will be down to one lane intermittently Monday, from Hilltop Drive to Avalon Road.

• Work to replace a waterline also will restrict through traffic and on-street parking from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily along several streets just west and south of Centennial Park, Ninth Street and Rockledge Road.

Work is scheduled to be finished in October.

• Drivers heading west on I-70, from 94th to 110th streets in Wyandotte County, get squeezed into a single lane as crews replace pavement near Kansas Speedway and I-70’s connections with Interstate 435, a project expected to last through late summer. The ramp for traffic from northbound I-435 to westbound I-70 is closed and is not scheduled to reopen until late summer.

Other ramps to be closed:
