Starting June 2, the eastbound 135th Street to northbound U.S. 69 loop ramp will close. The ramp will remain closed until mid-November. The detour route will be 135th Street east to Metcalf Ave.; Metcalf Ave. North to 119th Street; then 119th Street west to the U.S. 69 northbound on-ramp. 

The ramp closure is necessary to accommodate a traffic shift and bridge construction on U.S. 69. Please note that construction schedules are subject to change. Please watch for updated information on this closure on message boards, text alerts or information from the 69Express project.   

Also, on the weekend of June 2, 135^th Street will be closed for demolition of the US-69 southbound bridge over 135th Street. The closure will begin 8 p.m. Friday, June 2 and 135th Street will reopen by 6 a.m. Monday, June 5^th. 

During the closure, traffic will be detoured to 143rd street. Access to and from U.S. 69 interchange ramps will remain open. Expect delays in this area during the closure and choose alternate routes to reach your destination. 

Please note that construction schedules are subject to change.

Watch for updated information on this closure on message boards, text alerts or information from our project or website at 69Express.org. 

Rolling closures are being used on a limited basis along U.S. 69. A “rolling closure” takes place when designated vehicles with flashing lights pull in front of traffic to slow traffic. These vehicles can be construction vehicles, highway patrol or local police. Rolling closures can allow the contractor to move equipment or supplies across a roadway or conduct an operation that could be potentially dangerous to traffic away from live traffic without a full road closure. These rolling closures are usually short in duration, often only a few minutes but always less than 15 minutes in duration.



When you see trucks with their lights on ahead of you, be sure to slow down and be prepared to brake. Please be aware when you drive through the corridor, that you are driving through a live construction site. Be mindful of your surroundings and fellow drivers.
