WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — A nearly one-half-mile stretch of a busy north Wichita street is closing.

Starting Tuesday, 37th Street North from Hydraulic to Ohio Street will shut down for construction. The busy stretch of road passes underneath Interstate 135 in north Wichita, provides access to a variety of manufacturers and warehouse spaces, and sees heavy truck traffic daily.
