As summer nears, the City of Derby is preparing for its annual road construction and maintenance activities. These are scheduled to start after Memorial Day, during school vacations, to cause less disruption. This year, the city and Kansas Gas will undertake major projects.

Kansas Gas will replace a gas main on Madison Ave., from Woodlawn to Rockford Street, starting May 29. During this time, the south lane of Madison Ave. will be closed, but two-way traffic will continue unless further closures are needed due to unexpected issues.

The city will also start a mill and overlay project on Rock Road, from the south city limit near Decarsky Park to Meadowlark Blvd., on May 29. Two-way traffic will be maintained during this project. Drivers are urged to be cautious in the construction zone.

Another major effort involves reconstructing Madison Avenue from Rock Rd. to Woodlawn Blvd., beginning in mid-June. This will follow the completion of the Rock Rd. project. It includes replacing a storm sewer at Madison Ave. and Brook Forest, requiring a road closure for one week.
