If you travel to Lawrence on a regular basis, or if you plan to go there in the next few days…beware.! Anyone driving in Lawrence should anticipate heavy traffic, particularly around the KU campus this week. Today August 13th and tomorrow August 14th, are KU housing and residence life’s two day move in process for students returning to school.
Traffic around Daisy Hill is expected to be heaviest from about 7:00 to 2:00 the busiest intersections will likely be 15th and Iowa Streets, Clinton Parkway and Crestline Drive, and 23rd Street and Naismith Drive. Top that with ongoing road construction and road closures on Iowa and 19th Streets, you’re going to have some delays in getting to your destination.
Closures impacting travel include both the east and west sides of 19th Street at Iowa Street and 19th street between Kentucky and Massachusetts Streets are likely to back things up. Avoid those areas unless absolutely necessary.
