TOPEKA (KSNT) - City workers will be focusing their efforts on repairing a section of road near a busy intersection in west Topeka which is set to last for weeks. Robert Bidwell with the City of Topeka shared in a press release on Thursday, Oct. 3 that work crews will be repairing a section of deteriorating pavement on Southwest Huntoon Street just east of Wanamaker Road starting Monday, Oct. 7. Drivers on Huntoon will need to make use of one lane only in each direction with some turns being prevented while this work is underway. Workers in phase one of the project will reconstruct the inside lanes of Huntoon Street. Traffic will be moved to the outside lanes with left turns from westbound Huntoon to southbound Wanamaker being prevented during this time. Phase one is slated to end in October.
