The City of Topeka will begin road construction on NW 17th St. in front of Sunflower Sports Association (SSA) on Monday, August 18, with work expected to be complete within three weeks, weather-permitting.
The project includes asphalt overlay with some full depth patching and edge milling on NW 17th St. on the west side of the US-75 on/off ramp (see image below). This will address failing concrete and asphalt panels located in front of SSA.
This project is planned to close NW 17th St. to thru traffic during construction; however, access to and from the soccer complex will be maintained at all times. A detour will be clearly marked, carrying traffic on Vail Ave., NW 25th St., and Menoken Rd.
The City encourages drivers to use caution in construction zones and follow all posted signs for their safety and the safety of construction crews.
