Resurfacing of North Second and Third streets in North Lawrence is now complete, the City of Lawrence announced Monday.
Work stretched from the railroad tunnel to the northern city limits, according to the city’s news release.
The project was funded in part by a $400,000 grant from the Kansas Department of Transportation, and it “encompassed essential upgrades to improve both functionality and accessibility,” according to the release.
Improvements included the following:
• “Milling, patching, and overlaying the roadway to create a smoother driving experience.
• Installing new curb and gutter where needed to improve drainage and durability.
• Reconstructing ADA-compliant ramps and updating pedestrian pushbuttons at Lyon Street, enhancing accessibility for all community members.”
The city thanked residents, businesses and travelers for their patience during the work.
“These improvements ensure a safer and more reliable roadway for years to come, supporting Lawrence’s continued growth and enhancing the daily experience of everyone who travels through this essential corridor,” according to the release.
The city announced last week that construction on Sixth Street was also completed.
