Bridge deck repair work is planned for the area near I-435 and Leavenworth Road on Wednesday, Feb. 17, through Friday, Feb. 19.
According to the Kansas Department of Transportation, the right lane of southbound I-435 over Leavenworth Road, and the westbound Leavenworth Road to southbound I-435 loop ramp will be closed around the clock for the bridge deck repair work. The project begins at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 17, and will reopen to all traffic by 2 p.m. Friday, Feb. 19, weather permitting.
Advance message boards will alert traffic to the ramp and lane closures, the KDOT spokesman said. Traffic must use alternate routes during the short-term closures. Traffic can detour via 99th Street to Parallel Parkway or to Donahoo Road to access southbound I-435.
