A portion of East 1750 Rd. will be closed in both directions beginning Jan. 13 for work related to the ongoing South Lawrence Trafficway extension.

A mile-long stretch of East 1750 Road will be closed around the clock starting Jan. 13 and is expected to remain closed until spring 2015, the Kansas Department of Transportation announced.
