GRANDVIEW, Mo. - The intersection at Route 150 and Raytown Road will close beginning 9 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 13, so that workers can remove pavement and reconstruct the intersection.

Traffic will detour to Peterson Road east of Raytown Road and 137^th Street north of Route 150. The closure will last through the end of the year.

The work is part of projects totaling nearly $69 million to reconstruct the Route 71 and Route 150 interchange and widen Route 150 to four lanes between Route 71 and Route 291.
