Body
________________________________________________________________________________
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 119th Street 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 through lanes from Renner Boulevard to Strang Line Road, the widening of the bridges over BNSF to accommodate the additional lanes, geometric improvements at Renner Boulevard and upgrades to the pedestrian facilities in the area.
This agreement defines the responsibility of both the City of Olathe and KDOT in connection with the BUILD Grant and the construction of the I-35 and 119th Street Interchange Improvements project. This agreement provides Cost Share funds for 75% of the eligible costs up to a maximum of $5,000,000.
This project has also been awarded a $10,000,000 BUILD Grant with KDOT acting as the pass-through entity for these federal funds. Staff will return to Council later this year for approval of the BUILD Grant Agreement.
This project is currently in the final design, land acquisition and utility relocation phases. Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin by the end of 2020 with completion by the end of 2021.
