Project Description

N. Oak Trafficway, from NE 42^nd Street / NE Briarcliff Parkway to NE 46^th Street (the southern edge of the I-29 interchange), was once included in the Missouri Department of Transportation highway system and has become significantly deteriorated with inconsistent pedestrian accommodations and sidewalk gaps along the corridor.

The improvement project will include:

• Reconstruction of the 4-lane roadway
• Adding new pedestrian / bicycle facilities
• Upgrading streetlighting
• Enhancing stormwater conveyance
• Separated storm sewers that divert flow from the combined sewers

This project is funded through STP funds with $5.52 million in federal funding. Construction will start October of 2025 is expected to be completed in June 2026.
