Early Friday morning Iola street crews will close approximately 375 feet of the far easternmost stretch of East Carpenter Street.
The closure extends from Eisenhower Drive to the west, said Assistant City Administrator Corey Schinstock.
The closure is due to recent complaints by neighbors of dust being kicked up from the road.
The city originally planned to place dust control materials on the street before deciding the less expensive route would be to close the street temporarily.
City employees and police will moniter the traffic along the street and field questions from the public to determine if the closure should become permanent.
That decision would be made by Iola city commissioners.
