Improvements: U.S. 69, I-435 to 119th Street

U.S. 69 road closures and lane reductions are issued by the Kansas Department of Transportation.

Crews will begin construction July 18, 2011, along U.S. Highway 69 and Interstate 435. This project is a continuation of the U.S. 69, 75th Street to I-435 project. KDOT will oversee the project, which is expected to be complete in 2013.

The project includes:

• Construction of collector/distributor roads along southbound U.S. 69 from I-435 to 119th Street and along eastbound and westbound I-435 from U.S. 69 to I-35. This is to relieve congestion from vehicles entering and exiting the highway, similar to the ramps for I-435 between Nall and Roe.
• Reconstruction of the Quivira and I-435 Interchange including new bridges over I-435.
• Partial reconstruction of College Boulevard and U.S. 69 Interchange.
• Reconstruction of Switzer Road, from College Boulevard to Indian Creek, including the reconstruction of twin bridges over Indian Creek.
• Reconstruction of the bridge at 108th Street and Nieman.
• Noise walls will be constructed or reconstructed along eastbound and westbound I-435 from I35 to U.S. 69.
• Noise walls will be constructed along southbound U.S. 69 from Indian Creek to 119th Street.

The actual construction bid cost was $101 million. The City of Overland Park will contribute $8 million towards the cost of construction.

Eventually, the city would like to extend improvements on U.S. 69 through 167th Street.
