SW Topeka Boulevard will also be closed from north of SW 29th Street to south of SW 27th Street for more mill and overlay work, as well as curb and gutter construction and pavement replacement. This begins on June 10 as well and is expected to last until Aug. 16.
27 News spoke to a resident who lives in the area who told us that the construction will be an inconvenience.
“Anybody that is in the immediate area is really effected going north, period,” said William Hayes. “You have to go way this way, or way that way to go where you need to go. Not convenient, not properly planned at all.”
