Highway 45

45 Highway project updates from this morning’s meeting:

§         Graden Road to re-open today.

§         Median and turn lane improvements at 9 & 45 to be started mid-October.  No lane closures expected.  Temporary delays only.

§         Resident requested that MoDOT lengthen turn lanes from 45 Hwy into the Commons (at Lewis) to accommodate more vehicles and minimize conflicts with through traffic. MoDOT has studied and the westbound turn lane into Lewis is being extended approximately 50 to 55’ (will accommodate approximately three additional cars).  The eastbound turn lane cannot be extended. 

§         Blair Road closure planned for October 8th. 

§         Blair traffic signal being reviewed and adjusted to address afternoon traffic backups

§         Equipment to be added to Melody traffic signal so it can be coordinated with other signals in the corridor.  Will minimize delays.

§         Street barn entrance expected to be completed next week (depending on KCP&L utility completion).

§         Ribbon cutting will be planned for project completion (expected Mid- to late-November).
