Each year, the City completes several public road construction and improvement projects. These projects create safer streets with improved traffic flow and streamline maintenance of public property.
Occasionally, projects will cause some traffic delays and temporary disruptions. This page contains details about street, bridge, stormwater, and other projects that may impact traffic.
The Kansas Department of Transportation’s 69 Express project will add a new express toll lane in each direction adjacent to the existing general-purpose lanes to increase safety and improve congestion in the area. The express lanes will open to traffic in 2026.
The design and construction of these projects, such as thoroughfares, residential streets, bridges, traffic signals and storm water drainage, are paid for with money dedicated to the Capital Improvements and Maintenance Program.
This project will construct two bridges connecting Quivira Road from 183rd to 187th and reconstruct Quivira Road from 179th to 183rd. The new roadway will include a two-lane undivided road with a shoulder, bike lane and a roundabout at 179th Street. A multi-use trail, street lighting, curb and gutter, storm sewers and landscape restoration are also included.
This project is partially or fully funded by the OP Moves sales tax.

Last year, the Public Works Department:
A mill and overlay removes the top two to three inches of the asphalt street. Milling removes the old surface and helps to restore the street to its original shape. Crews then overlay new asphalt. Curb and gutter, sidewalk, storm sewer and commercial driveway repairs are included as part of the project. Thoroughfare roads are maintained every 10-12 years, and residential streets are maintained at least 30 years after construction.
This process removes the top five-eighths of an inch of the asphalt street. Crews then apply an ultra-thin bonded asphalt, which seals the pavement and prolongs the life of the street. Curb and gutter, sidewalk, storm sewer and commercial driveway repairs are included as part of the project. Thoroughfare roads are treated approximately every 8-10 years.
Chip seal extends the life of your street and is relatively quick to apply, reducing the disruption to the neighborhood. It creates a skid-resistant surface that can be used right away. Chip seal keeps streets in good condition by sealing cracks and preventing water from creating new issues. Compared to other project types, chip seal provides a better value to taxpayers and residents because it lasts longer and is less expensive. Chip seal application lasts approximately seven years.
| Project Type | Cost Per Lane Mile | Expected Longevity |
|---|---|---|
| Chip seal | $31,000 | 7 years |
| UBAS | $110,000 | 8 years |
| Overlay | $278,000 | 10 years |
| Total reconstruction | $2.15 million | 50 years |
Chip seal typically happens during the summer. City staff notify residents with mailed postcards and door hangers before chip sealing begins. These notifications have contact information included so you can call with questions or concerns. Streets remain open and you will have access to your home.
The chip seal process involves spraying an emulsion mixture to seal cracks, spreading small chip rocks on the mixture, and rolling the chip rocks to embed them into the street surface.
On the day the work is scheduled, do not park in the street. You can drive slowly on the chip-sealed surface during the curing process, but do not brake or turn the wheels of your vehicle sharply within the first few hours of application. After the chip seal is applied, street sweepers will sweep the street to reduce loose rock. Do not park on the street during the initial week that the chip seal is placed so sweepers can remove the loose rock.
Street sweeping is completed several times after the chip seal is applied. Use the map linked below to see recent chip seal locations and their sweeping status.
The City’s Neighborhood Street Reconstruction Program includes pavement replacement, driveway approaches, as well as sidewalks, storm sewers and street lights. Streets improved with this project type may not need to be rebuilt or repaved for up to 50 years.
The impact of this project varies by neighborhood and depends on other needed infrastructure upgrades, but streets are often closed for weeks or months to complete the work. At times, street trees must be removed to accommodate infrastructure, but they will be replaced. City staff meet in person with residents in the area to provide as much notice and information as possible. Upgrades are funded by the Capital Improvements Program with sales tax revenues.
Stormwater maintenance projects help replace old and damaged pipes with stronger materials so water can move safely through neighborhoods. The City checks the stormwater system and chooses projects based on the condition of the pipes and how likely they are to fail. Each year, staff reviews all stormwater needs across the city to decide which maintenance projects to complete.
Stormwater improvement projects focus on places that have flooding. These projects may add new pipes, inlets or other parts to help move more water, or add a stormwater system where one does not already exist. Preliminary Engineering Studies help identify these projects by looking at flooding problems and giving recommendations.
Before any project can move forward, it must be added to the City’s Capital Improvements Program. The City reviews all stormwater needs each year to decide which projects to include. When choosing projects, staff considers flooding risk, available funding and neighborhood support. All easements for stormwater improvement projects must be donated.
