The city of Wichita wants to give you a heads up if you travel on Douglas west of the Arkansas River.
Douglas, between Seneca and McLean Blvd., will get a new asphalt surface as part of the 2022 Outsourced Pavement Preservation Program. This also includes a new surface in the parking stalls in front of businesses.
The first phase of construction is scheduled to begin Monday, August 1 and be completed Friday, August 5. The second phase starts three weeks later, on August 22. Both phases are expected to last four days each in order for Douglas and on-street parking to re-open by the weekend.
The city says Douglas will be closed to through traffic, but cross streets will remain open for northbound and southbound traffic and parking.
Sidewalk access and local businesses in the area will remain open during the project.
