Work on utilities near Evergy’s new service center complex just west of Emporia is entering a new phase this week.
Phase II of a significant drainage project is now underway. West 18th, which becomes Lyon County Road 180 just west of Emporia, will be closed to thru traffic until further notice. The intersection of F-5 at 180, just west of the new Evergy complex, will be closed periodically for the next several months.
The city of Emporia says driveways will be open as construction continues.
Evergy continues construction to move from its longstanding home near Second and Mechanic to a brand-new facility.
