Construction Updates

Welcome to the work zone!

On Feb. 1, both directions of 139th Street reopened as demolition of the existing northbound U.S. 69 bridge over 139th Street was completed. Bridge work will continue across the corridor as construction crews shift to reconstructing the northbound alignment of U.S. 69.

In the coming weeks, prepare for a new traffic configuration at Blue Valley Parkway/U.S. 69 interchange. Traffic on the Blue Valley Parkway to southbound U.S. 69 on-ramp will be shifted onto temporary pavement, allowing crews access to additional work areas within the Blue Valley Parkway interchange. Please be alert, vigilant and mindful of crews as traffic patterns continue to shift. 

Several closures will take place as crews continue bridge work, including at 143rd Street and 135th Street. To see which closures will affect your daily commute, please sign up for text alerts.

The photo above depicts the demolition of the northbound U.S. 69 bridge over 139th Street, which was completed this week. Crews will construct a new bridge at this location, installing beams and deck panels in the coming months.
