In this file photo from June 2014, the eastern section of the South Lawrence Trafficway and relocated 31st Street begin to take shape in south Lawrence.

A key portion of 31st Street that has been closed for months as part of the South Lawrence Trafficway project will reopen on Wednesday.

Kansas Department of Transportation officials have set Wednesday as the date to open the portion of 31st Street between Ousdahl Road and Haskell Avenue. In addition, the portion of Louisiana Street that is north of 31st Street is scheduled to reopen on Aug. 19. The portion of Louisiana Street south of 31st Street is scheduled to open in late September.

Both portions of road have been closed since June of 2014. Both roads were part of the larger South Lawrence Trafficway project. Crews have relocated and completely rebuilt 31st Street. KDOT and city officials said the scheduled opening of 31st Street on Wednesday will mean that portion of the project is “completely finished and open to all traffic.”

Work on the South Lawrence Trafficway bypass project is expected to continue into 2016.
