The Piper bridge repair project on U.S. 73 – K-7 over Piper Creek has been rescheduled for Monday, June 9.
The project was supposed to start June 5, but was delayed because of rain.
A Kansas Department of Transportation spokesman said that on Monday, northbound and southbound U.S. 73 – K-7 traffic will be shifted and placed side by side, one lane each direction, in the existing northbound U.S. 73 – K-7 lanes from Parallel Parkway to Donahoo Road.
The lane closures will start around 10 a.m. Monday, and continue through late September 2014.
Traffic will be directed via signs, cones and arrow boards through the project work zone. There will be a 55 mph posted speed limit through the project work zone throughout the project duration. Drivers should expect major delays during the daily peak time commutes and adjust their travel times accordingly, according to KDOT.
Updated daily traffic information for this project and for the entire Kansas City metro area can be viewed online any time at: www.ksdot.org/kcmetro/laneclose.asp.
