Heavy traffic anticipated Aug. 14-15 for KU Housing & Residence Life move-in days
LAWRENCE — University of Kansas employees and the Lawrence community should anticipate heavy traffic around the Lawrence campus this week — Aug. 14-15 — during KU Housing & Residence Life’s two-day move-in process for its residents.
Traffic around Daisy Hill is expected to be heaviest from about 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. The busiest intersections will likely be 15th and Iowa streets, Clinton Parkway and Crestline Drive, and 23rd Street and Naismith Drive. Due to ongoing road construction and road closures on Iowa and 19th streets, residents moving in have been given alternative driving routes. Closures impacting travel include both the east and west sides of 19th Street at Iowa Street and 19th Street between Kentucky and Massachusetts streets.
There also may be increased traffic at:
11th and Louisiana streets, location of GSP and Corbin halls.
19th Street at both Ousdahl Road and Ellis Drive, which are the entrances for Downs and Naismith residence halls and Stouffer Place apartments.
Maps of each area, which were emailed to incoming residents and their families, can be found at the KU Housing & Residence Life website.
If announcements are needed related to severe weather, tune to Kansas Public Radio at 91.5 FM.
An early move-in for band members, sorority recruitment and other residents took place Aug. 9-10.
For media:
Media are welcome to attend the event, but news vehicles will not be allowed to cross Irving Hill Bridge and enter the line of cars going to Daisy Hill.
