Lawrence Roads Under Construction | Lawrence News

Roads in Lawrence are getting major upgrades — starting July 20, westbound 27th Street between Louisiana and Iowa will be closed for maintenance, with only the eastbound lane open until late September. Iowa Street’s asphalt overlay project continues, with one lane always open in each direction, aiming for completion by Sept 4, weather permitting. The city’s 2026 street maintenance program also includes traffic disruptions from the expanding Jayhawk Watershed project on Tennessee and Seventh streets, plus changes to access to Watson Park. On the west side, K-10 ramps are shifting starting Wednesday. Don’t forget — the Douglas County Fair is coming with demolition derby and carnival fun, and 20 new benches by Van Go artists are set to debut soon.
