Summary:
The I-35 & 119th Street interchange carries over 50,000 vehicles per day and is heavily congested in the AM and PM peak hour. This project will include the reconfiguration of the existing bridge over I-35 from its current layout to a diverging diamond interchange (DDI). Also included in the project will be the construction of three thru lanes from Renner Blvd to Strang Line Road, the widening of the bridges over BNSF to accommodate these three lanes, geometric improvements at Renner Blvd and upgrades to the pedestrian facilities in the area.
In October of 2019, this project was awarded $10,000,000 in BUILD Grant funding for construction in 2021/2022. The project will also receive $5,000,000 in KDOT funds for construction and construction engineering.
The project is currently in the final design and land acquisition phases with utility relocations tentatively scheduled for later this year and construction to begin in late 2020 or early 2021.
This presentation will provide information on the construction schedule and phasing of the project.
