| August 12, 2026 | September 18, 2026 | Mississippi Street | Beginning August 12, intermittent traffic impacts are expected on Mississippi Street adjacent to the stadium construction. This work will likely require a partial lane closure, with traffic maintained through the area by work crew with flags. This work will not occur every day. Drivers should use caution when traveling through the area, particularly during weekend and overnight hours, as steel road plates may be used, allowing the roadway to remain open to traffic. This work is expected to be completed by September 18. | View |
| Underway | Spring 27 | Mississippi Street | Construction is underway on a private residence between Mississippi Street and Oread Avenue just north of the Mississippi Street Parking Garage. The sidewalk and parking spaces in front of the residence on the east side of Mississippi are closed. The sidewalk on the west side of Oread remains open at this time. Please note that this sidewalk closure is at a different location than the sidewalk closure adjacent to the stadium construction. Pedestrians should use marked crosswalk and follow posted directional signage when navigating around the area. This is a private project; updates from the City of Lawrence will be shared as they become available. A project completion date is unknown at this time. | |

At a later stage of construction, the sidewalk in front of the Hub along Crescent is also expected to close. Pedestrians are reminded to follow the detour signs for the designated pathway. Closure of the roads and sidewalks are expected to last through the duration of the construction project, which will be about a year. | |
