Lawrence:

• A project to reconstruct the intersection of 23rd and Iowa streets has moved into the next phase. Traffic will be shifted to the south and west sides of the intersection, and each approach to the intersection will have a dedicated left turn lane and one lane for through traffic.

• Crews have moved into the next phase of a project that will add a turn lane to the intersection of Sixth and Iowa streets. Sixth Street will be widened for the installation of a dedicated westbound left turn lane. The southbound ramp from McDonald Drive to eastbound Sixth Street is closed. Traffic has been shifted to the north side of the roadway on new pavement constructed in the previous phase to maintain four lanes of traffic along Sixth Street. Possible single-lane closures may occur between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on weekdays.

• A project is underway to construct a new diamond interchange at Kansas Highway 10 and Bob Billings Parkway/15th Street. Work will take place during daylight hours, Monday through Friday, with some occasional Saturday work. Crews have begun setting traffic control for the project. At this time, there are minimal motorist impacts, but the work has caused a need to detour the South Lawrence Trafficway trail between Sixth Street and Bob Billings Parkway. The overall scheduled completion date for the project is early November 2015.

• City crews are working on a waterline replacement project on Forrest Avenue from Learnard Avenue to Maryland Street and Maryland Street from East 15th Street to Forrest Avenue. There will be no parking and the road will be closed to through traffic, Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

S. Lawrence Trafficway:

• In December, a three-year construction project began to complete the six-mile, four-lane Kansas Highway 10/South Lawrence Trafficway freeway. The project will move existing K-10 onto a new alignment that will begin at the south junction of the U.S. 59 and K-10 interchange and reconnect with existing K-10 in East Lawrence. Construction work on the project will be completed in phases. Each phase includes specific work and advance notification will be sent under separate cover for each phase of construction. The overall scheduled completion date for the project is fall 2016.
