LAWRENCE, Kan. -- The Bloomington Park beach road at Clinton Lake will reopen on July 1.
The road has been closed since May 24 for road construction.

Gehrt continued, "The original road was constructed over 30 years ago and was too narrow and in poor condition. We appreciate our visitors' patience and cooperation during construction of the new road."
