Wheel Genius: Road work planned this week

Lawrence

City construction projects are now mapped at http://lawks.us/construction-map.

• The city of Lawrence will be sealing street cracks in the neighborhoods east and west of Monterey Way, north of Sixth Street. Lanes may be closed temporarily during working hours.

• Street traffic has shifted from the existing shoofly lanes onto the new 23rd Street bridge near Haskell Avenue. Two westbound lanes and one eastbound lane will be open on the bridge as crews work to remove the existing shoofly lanes and finish road work. Work is expected to finish this month.

• Street concrete will be reworked this week east of Nicklaus Drive, Palmer Court and Drive, and Hogan Court and Drive. Through traffic will generally be maintained, but there may be street closures.

U.S. Highway 59

• Northbound and southbound lanes of old U.S. Highway 59 will be closed to traffic at the North 650 Road interchange for frontage reconstruction work. North 650 Road will remain open to traffic. Completion: late 2012.
