Motorists should expect delays on U.S. 69 near 132nd Street on Sunday.
U.S. 69 will be reduced to one lane in each direction, and crews will need to completely close the highway for short periods of time between 6 a.m. and noon so they can install portions of the bridge for the new 132nd Street overpass.
Additionally, two other street closures will occur during the same time because of the bridge installation: southbound Blue Valley Parkway at 123rd Street and the northbound U.S. 69 on ramps at 135th Street.
Detours for these street closures will be available via Metcalf Avenue and Antioch Road.
The overpass is being built for two lanes of traffic. It will include sidewalks and street lights and will serve as a connector between Metcalf on the east and Antioch on the west.
Once completed later this summer, the roadway is expected to help ease some of the congestion from major thoroughfares in the area, including 135th Street.
Respondents to citywide surveys, done since 2001, have rated traffic flow/congestion management on city streets as the number one priority for Overland Park elected officials.
SATURDAY'S OVERLAND PARK STREAM CLEAN UP EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED
Rain and the forecast of a possible snowstorm have forced organizers to postpone Saturday's Overland Park Clean Stream Day.
More than 750 volunteers, including scout groups, neighborhood and outdoor clubs and individuals, have signed up for this annual event.
Group representatives may still pick up their supplies from 7:30 to 10 a.m. at the Myron E. Scafe Building, 8500 Antioch.
Due to varying conflicts for dates and times in trying to bring all volunteers together again, everyone is asked select a future date for cleanup that is convenient and when the weather is cooperating.
For more information, call Jim Twigg, special projects coordinator, at 913/895-6273.
