Improvements to U.S. 69, 75th to I-435

Road Closures/Reductions

U.S. 69 road closures and lane reductions are issued by the Kansas Department of Transportation. For your convenience, they are listed here as we receive them:

Construction has begun on the largest federal stimulus project in metropolitan Kansas City.

Crews are widening U.S. Highway 69 from 75th Street to nearly Interstate 435.

US 69 tunnelThe project includes:

  • Adding a lane in each direction to U.S. 69;
  • Reconstructing Lenexa Drive from 87th to 75th streets;
  • Improving interchanges at 95th, 87th and 75th streets; and
  • Sewer improvements.

Originally estimated to cost $91 million, the actual construction bid was $82.3 million. Overland Park will pay $6.3 million for the project; federal stimulus money from KDOT will make up the difference.

Eventually, the city would like to extend improvements on U.S. 69 through 167th Street. This would exceed $500 million.

KDOT will oversee the project, which is expected to be completed by July 2012.
