Ninth Street Reopens, But Work Continues | Lawrence News
Description
Ninth Street’s long-awaited reopening is finally here—just in time for KU’s football game—after nearly nine months of closures that’ve disrupted traffic and local businesses. The Jayhawk Watershed Project, aimed at upgrading Lawrence’s aging stormwater system, is nearing completion with road resurfacing, bike lanes, and traffic circles on the horizon. Meanwhile, Watson Park’s flooded basketball court is gone for now, with plans for a new one pending tree impact assessments and uncertain funding. The entire project, including park restoration, is set to wrap up by early 2027—proving this is a marathon, not a sprint, for a more resilient city.
