Overland Park, KS - A major portion of Antioch Road that serves College Boulevard, Corporate Woods and I-435 will undergo construction starting the week of April 26.

More than 24,600 vehicles travel north and south on Antioch Road from I-435 to 119th Street. If you are one of those drivers, make alternate plans.

Overland Park is widening Antioch Road from four to six lanes from 108th Terr. to 120th Terr. as part of an $8.3 million project. Completion is set for fall.

Other improvements include storm sewers, turn lanes, curbs and gutters, sidewalks, new traffic signal at the Shannon Valley and Executive Hills' entrances and street lights.

Antioch Road will remain open except during reconstruction of the College Boulevard intersection, which will be closed for 10 days during the summer. Once a date for closure is set, a public announcement will be made.

Expect delays and frequent lane restrictions. Metcalf Avenue and Quivira Road are possible alternate routes.
