Detours to enter U.S. 69 from 119th Street

As you may have noticed, this is an eventful weekend for the 69Express project! In addition to the activities listed above, drivers should also be alert for a new traffic pattern on southbound U.S. 69, where traffic will be shifted to new pavement between 103rd Street to 119th Street. The traffic switch will open new areas for construction, so the contractor can complete the next phase of improvements. All drivers are encouraged to be vigilant and mindful of construction crews as traffic patterns shift.
