The City of Emporia is closing a busy intersection beginning Wednesday as work continues on 12th Ave.
City communications manager Christine Johnson says the intersection of 12th Avenue and Chestnut will be closed likely until the end of next week as the city’s contractor continues excavation work in the area. Crews will also be pouring concrete on the Southside of the intersection at that time.
Eastbound traffic will be open on 12th up to Newman Regional Health’s “eastmost entrance.”
