Watson Park Tunnel Work Starts Next Week | Lawrence News

Get ready for some major traffic changes starting next week as the city digs into Watson Park for a new stormwater tunnel — a costly detour needed to fix structural issues at the Outdoor Aquatic Center. The sewer’s new route will run under basketball courts, shutting down parts of Tennessee and Seventh Streets with lane reductions, parking bans, and sidewalk closures. The courts will be off-limits, but playgrounds and the pool stay open. Expect curbs replaced and roads resurfaced too — all part of the big Jayhawk Watershed Project.
