Part of Iowa Street to remain closed until June, closes again in July
Work along Iowa Street will keep a northbound lane closed until mid June, before it’s closed again for more work in July.
The Lawrence utilities department is currently working to replace a waterline on Iowa Street between 25th and 27th streets, said Jeanette Klamm, a management analyst with the utilities department. The work, which began March 14, is estimated to be complete June 12.
In the meantime, one northbound lane of Iowa between 25th and 27th streets will remain closed. There will also be brief lane closures on Iowa Street between 27th and 31st streets.
Several breaks to the water main in the area prompted the replacement.
The city Public Works Department has planned an overlay project along that same area starting in July. The project will run from 24th to 29th streets.
