With summer construction ramping up at some of Lawrence’s most traveled intersections, traffic will begin to clog up the roadways. And the Journal-World wants to help avoid it.

The Lawrence Fast Lane is a crowdsourcing project that will keep Lawrencians informed about the latest with the construction around town.

No one knows the roads better than you, the commuters. You’ll be navigating the construction and taking detours (or finding your own) daily. So throughout the summer, send us notes and updates about how the construction is coming as you see it: Have crews shut down the lanes completely today? Is there unusually bad traffic on certain side streets these past few evenings? Has traffic been at a complete standstill for the past 20 minutes? Find a new, great detour? Get lost in a terrible one?

Let us know. The Journal-World will report new developments at LJWorld.com and in the newspaper periodically. The goal is to avoid getting caught in traffic and move you quickly through town, like you’re in the fast lane.
