Part of Emporia’s South Avenue will see a better-than-month-long closure as part of the ongoing Southeast Transmission waterline project.
South closes to westbound traffic Monday from East to Peyton and remains closed for up to five weeks. Part of the closure involves waterline construction, with another part including “pavement restoration.”
First Avenue remains closed between Commercial and Cottonwood as work continues pushing slowly to the east, eventually ending this fall near South and Carter. The city anticipates several intersections could reopen to traffic this week.
