The westbound I-435 loop ramp to southbound U.S. 69 will be closed for bridge demolition. Ramp closures are scheduled for the following times: Saturday, July 15th from 6 p.m. to 10 a.m. Sunday, July 16 from 5 p.m.

to 6 a.m. and nightly Sunday, July 23 through Tuesday, August 1.

During scheduled ramp closures, drivers will detour by exiting westbound I-435 using the northbound U.S. 69 ramp. Then, traveling north on U.S. 69 to exit at 103rd Street, and turning west on 103rd Street, to then use the southbound U.S. 69/103rd Street entrance ramp.

Please note that construction schedules are subject to change. Watch for updated information on this closure on message boards, text alerts or information from the 69Express project.   

To give you an idea of the scale of the 69Express project, we will occasionally drop a fun fact about the work.

Did you know the contractor will use 26,000 cubic yards of bridge concrete during the course of this project. That's the equivalent of seven

Olympic-sized pools!



Overland Park residents and trail enthusiasts have noticed the closures of both the Tomahawk Creek and Indian Creek Trails at the crossings with U.S. 69. As construction continues in certain areas around these trails near U.S. 69, the project work makes traveling these trails unsafe. The Indian Creek Trail is scheduled to reopen in October of 2024, and the Tomahawk Creek Trail is expected to reopen in the summer of 2024. Please visit the Overland Park Trail Website for updates, trail detours, and additional closure information.
