435 TO MIDLAND OFF RAMP CLOSING FOR BOX CULVERT REPLACEMENT
KDOT has informed Shawnee's Public Works Department that crews from Clarkson Construction have started the pre-work to install the replacement for the box culvert that runs underneath Midland Drive as part of Shawnee's storm water infrastructure.
This replacement was planned to take place during the re-decking of the 435 bridge over Midland, due to the significant traffic control measures already in place for the main project.
This work is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, August 20, and weather permitting, last up to 21 days. During that time, the right turn lane on the 435 northbound off-ramp to Midland will be closed, so drivers will not be able to turn east onto Midland Drive.
The City of Shawnee is installing new Midland Entertainment Directional signs to point drivers to both Midland/Renner and Midland/Elmridge intersections on either side of 435 via surface streets. Additionally, we will continue to provide updates via the City's social media channels to remind residents that businesses in the area need their support.
