According to the Johnson County Gateway Projectwebsite, the area will be rebuilt into a new diverging diamond interchange. The entire interchange and some surrounding streets will be closed for six months. The site also states the reconstruction will include adding new sidewalks, pedestrian crossings and new lighting. Local shops near this construction project are already preparing in advance to alert their customers about these closures.
Confused about what 'diverging diamond' means? Let Kacie explain it to you.
The Johnson County Gateway Project says the marked detour will be via 87th St. to either Quivira Road and Pflumm Road, but using U.S. 69 or I-435 and other local streets is also suggested.
