The eastbound exit ramp from Kansas Highway 10 to Clinton Parkway will close next week for crews to work on a new highway alignment, part of the highway expansion project.
The ramp will close Tuesday, May 26 and remain closed until the South Lawrence Trafficway project is complete, according to a Friday news release from the Kansas Department of Transportation. The work underway is to expand that section of the SLT to four lanes.
Detours to Clinton Parkway will be marked on Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive, according to the release. Clinton Lake State Park will be accessible from Bob Billings Parkway/North 1500 Road and the new East 875 and East 900 roads, according to the release.
“By early July, K-10 traffic between U.S. 40/6th Street and Clinton Parkway is expected to shift to one lane in each direction on the new eastbound lanes,” according to the release. “The U.S. 40/6th Street entrance ramp and the Bob Billings Parkway exit ramp will also reopen when the traffic shift occurs.”
