Those who travel on North 16th Street near Clark Avenue in Parsons will need to plan for a little extra time on their commute. Beginning next week, North 16th will be cut down to two-lane traffic in preparation for a nearly a project costing a little under $1.8 million.
The road project will widen of the intersection of Main and 16th streets to add left-turn lanes for all four directions. The work also will include a new concrete surface for 16th from Clark to Broadway Avenue, new sidewalks, new stormwater lines and a drainage box. Work will begin on the two west lanes of North 16th Street at Clark and move south from there.
Construction is expected to be finished by the end of the year by Heck & Wicker of Parsons.
