KDOT: 69Express News


As part of the first phase of expansion and improvement of U.S. 69 in Johnson County, noise walls have been approved along the corridor and the Environmental Assessment for the project has been completed. KC Scout’s services will not change in regards to providing traffic incident management services throughout construction and after completion of the project.

Identified in a 2021 noise study, all 11 proposed walls received approval via survey from property owners and residents along the U.S. 69 corridor between 119th St. and 151st St. Evaluating the benefits and impacts of potential improvements to the U.S. 69 corridor, the Environmental Assessment took more than year to complete and was conducted by KDOT, the Kansas Turnpike Authority (KTA) and the City of Overland Park. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) concluded the 69Express project will have no significant environmental impact.

More information on the recently approved noise walls and Environmental Assessment can be found on the project website at www.69express.org.
