Update to the March K-7 and Johnson Drive Interchange Project Update

We’ve had a lot of rain, and a little snow, and as a result, the new traffic changes set to begin at the latest this week, have now been pushed back to the week of April 4th.

What do you have to look forward to?  First of all, northbound and southbound K-7 will be reduced to one lane…moving you over to the new northbound lane so that crews can complete construction on the new southbound lanes.  This will last through late fall, weather permitting.

Second, and this is a biggie, the east leg of Clear Ceek Parkway will be closed for bridge constuction that will take Clear Creek traffic over K-7.  In other words, no more direct access to K-7 from Clear Creek.  Detours will take you to either Shawnee Mission Parkway or 47th Street, depending on where your destination is.

Lastly, access from southbound K-7 to 55th Street will be closed through June 2011 (again, depending on the weather) while crews complete construction on the new southbound lanes.

I’ll keep you posted on any other traffic updates for this ever changing area.  If you have any questions, please feel free to email or give me a call!
