Road Closures on US-169 North

For those of you in the northern area, here’s a heads-up: US-169 North is temporarily closed between several major intersections. The alert was issued early Monday morning, but don’t worry; things were also being monitored Sunday as the last update came in late in the afternoon.

Continuing Issues on US-69

Meanwhile, back in Overland Park, there are a few lanes closed on US-69 from 95th Street to Blue Valley Parkway. This is an extended situation that started on Friday morning, with the last update settling in for its performance on Sunday evening. The messy lane closures stretch over 3 miles, so if you’re headed that way, you might want to plan an alternative route!

There were reports of broken down vehicles sprinkled across various locations, including on the Bruce R Watkins Expressway, which certainly kept local traffic interesting!
