This work is a part of the Route 92 Roadway Safety Improvement Project and is a continuation of the work that began on April 3. 

Motorists are advised to follow the signed detour route or seek alternate routes if necessary. All work is weather permitting.

This project is focused on safety improvements in the eastbound and westbound lanes on Route 92 from Liberty Road to Nations Road. Crews have completed four sections of this six-section project. Safety improvements vary depending on the section, but improvements include widened lanes, lengthened culverts, additional turn lanes, intersection site distance improvements, and resurfacing.

The final section scheduled for construction on Route 92 will be from WHB road to east of Route C. Crews plan to complete construction on this section in the 2023 calendar year.

For potential impacts to traffic, please review KC Scout cameras at http://www.kcscout.net or consult our real-time traffic partner, WAZE. 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.
