What are the Additional Projects Along Route 45?

In addition to the widening, there are several improvement projects along this corridor. While these are separate projects, with different funding and schedules, they impact many of the same drivers.

1. Two roundabouts are under construction at Brink-Meyer Road and Union Chapel Road. Brink-Meyer Road will be closed through August to complete construction. This project costs approximately $3.5 million and is funded through road safety funds.

2. Road resurfacing from I-435 to Route K is part of maintaining the existing roadway. This project costs $623,000 and is part of dollars allocated for taking care of the highway system. The anticipated start date is early June.

3. Three bridges along Route 45 will be closed for repair or replacement as part of the Safe & Sound Bridge Improvement Project.
