“This is a highly anticipated project,” said Kim Pemberton, Project Manager with the Kansas City Public Works Department. “Residents have been waiting a long time for this improvement, and we are excited to see it become a reality for our residents.”
Construction is split into three phases with phase one starting this fall, phase two including most of 2020 and phase three picking up the last part of 2020 through the fall of 2021.
