Road Closures 03/19/2026

A house will be moving through Carbondale tomorrow morning! The home is being transported from the Topeka area to rural Douglas County.

• The house will occupy both lanes on Topeka Avenue.

• CPD, CFD, and Public Works will block access to the road while the move is in progress.
We anticipate closures to begin at 9:00 AM and access to Topeka Avenue will be closed until the transport has passed.

• Transport crews will manage street signs and power lines, and the house will move at approximately 15 mph, please be patient, it will take time to pass through town.

• The Osage County, KS Sheriff's Office and Overbrook, KS Police Department will escort the home for safety.

If you’d like to watch:

• Please park safely away from the roadway, such as at Casey’s or the former Man Cave parking lot.

• Always get permission from property or business owners before parking.

Questions? Contact CPD at 785-836-7377.

We appreciate everyone’s patience as we work to keep the move safe and smooth. Plan an alternate route, if possible, to avoid delays!
