Wakarusa Drive Closure Alert | Lawrence News

Wakarusa Drive in Lawrence, Kansas, is getting major surgery—starting next Wednesday, a key stretch between Clinton Parkway and the South Lawrence Trafficway will be shut down for up to six months as part of a $171 million SLT expansion. The project will widen the bypass from two to four lanes and build a new interchange, with closures staged in 45- or 90-day chunks. While it’s a headache now, this massive upgrade aims to smooth traffic flow by late 2028. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
