Starting Saturday, and for 10 days, the intersection of College Boulevard and Antioch Road will be closed for reconstruction as part of the $8.3 million project to widen Antioch to six lanes between 108th and 120th streets.
The intersection will close at 7 a.m. Saturday, and is scheduled to reopen on Tuesday, August 10, weather permitting.
At this intersection, more than 24,000 vehicles travel north or south on Antioch Road and more than 19,000 vehicles travel east or west on College Boulevard. If you are one of those drivers, please make alternate plans during the closure.
Completion of the Antioch Road widening is set for late fall.
Although street construction and closings causes temporary inconvenience, the long-term benefit is great by relieving future traffic flow. Citizens and businesses in Overland Park are fortunate to have a progressive local government that makes traffic and transportation a top priority because it’s what residents rank as their number one concern on citywide surveys.
