Eastbound I-435 Traffic to be Detoured onto Oalthe's 119th Street Saturday Night

A KDOT project to construct an interchange at I-435 and Antioch will necessitate the temporary closure of nearly two miles of I-435 from Saturday night into Sunday morning.
All north-bound I-35 traffic headed for eastbound I-435 will be routed onto eastbound 119th Street from 10 p.m. Saturday, February 4 until 10 a.m. Sunday, February 5.
As a result, travelers on 119th Street east of I-35 will experience heavier than normal traffic. This includes the heavily traveled intersection of 119th and Strang Line near the Olathe Station shopping area and movie theaters. Motorists should plan ahead to find other alternate routes and avoid the area as much as possible.
City of Olathe traffic personnel will be staffing the City's Traffic Operations Center to monitor traffic flow.
