JOHNSON COUNTY – The Missouri Department of Transportation will be closing the left lane on U.S. Highway 50 eastbound and westbound between the Johnson County Routes W and Z intersection and County Rd. 1501 from Tuesday, Sept. 2 through Monday, Oct. 27, 2025. Crews will be constructing intersection improvements, including the addition of J-turns and removal of median crossovers. The project is scheduled to be completed in Dec. 2025. More information about the project can be found at the project webpage: U.S. Route 50 Intersection Improvements in Johnson County | Missouri Department of Transportation. All work is weather permitting.
Motorists are reminded to slow down and pay attention while driving in work zones. Not all work zones look alike. Work zones can be moving operations, such as striping, patching or mowing. They can also be short term, temporary lane closures to make quick repairs or remove debris from the roadway.
