On Wednesday, June 6, a pavement repair and resurfacing project will begin on I-635 from the Johnson/Wyandotte County line approximately .5-miles south to Foster Road in Overland Park.
Ramps included in the project: southbound I-35 to northbound I-635, northbound I-635 to northbound I-35, and southbound I-635 to southbound I-35.
Project work includes pavement replacement, pavement patching, asphalt overlay, and all new pavement markings on the resurfaced portion of I-635. Work will primarily take place Wednesday through Sunday, including 24-hour work on the weekends.
Beginning on Wednesday, June 6 at 7 a.m., I-635 will have varying lane closures during daytime hours for patching work. Ramp work will take place during weekend closures. The southbound I-635 to southbound I-35 ramp will be closed for a ten-day period for concrete replacement.
A marked detour will be provided during the ramp closures. We will provide advance notification for the ten-day ramp closure under separate cover.
Traffic will be directed through the project work zone via signage and cones. There will be a posted speed limit of 45 mph and an 11-foot lane width restriction during the southbound I-635 to southbound I-35 ramp closure only through the project work zone during working hours.
For the remainder of the project, there will be a posted speed limit of 45 mph and a 14-foot lane width restriction throughout the project work zone during working hours
Advance message boards will alert drivers to the lane and ramp closures. Drivers should expect major delays during the peak hours and should use alternate routes, if possible.
