Massachusetts Street in downtown Lawrence is temporarily closed today, May 20, in front of the historic Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts Street, to repair an aging waterline. The closure extends from 11th Street to W North Park Street.
Douglas County is working with the City of Lawrence and has hired a contractor to complete the repairs. Efforts are being made to minimize disruption to traffic. After the workday, crews will place street plates so at least one lane each way can reopen overnight. The project is expected to take about 5-7 days to complete, weather permitting.
The Courthouse is open, and all services are available.
Thank you for your patience.
