Overland Park Police were called to the area of W. 102nd Street and Antioch Road shortly before 2 a.m. Friday to check on a report from a passing motorist of a possible water main break. The arriving officer reported that there was water coming from under the pavement and that it had caused a section of the roadway to become impassable. Officers immediately closed Antioch Road to all traffic between 101st Street and 103rd Street.

As of 4:30 a.m., the roadway has since partially reopened. There is currently only one lane of traffic in each direction getting through the stretch

Crews from Johnson County WaterOne were called and are working to repair the water main and the roadway surface.

The work is expected to last until around 10 a.m.. Drivers in the area should expect delays and congested traffic.

Beginning at 7 a.m., Monday, April 23rd southbound lanes of Quivira Road from 99th Street to 105th Street will be reduced to one lane. The City of Overland Park says this lane closure will last until Saturday, May 12. This construction will also disrupt several other streets. 99th Street, 99th Terrace, 100th Street, 100th Terrace, 101st Street and 105th Street all west of Quivira Road will be closed for approximately 100 feet. These closures will remain in place until Saturday, May 4th.


Later in the week, beginning Wednesday, April 25th, WaterOne will close all lanes of southbound Quivira Road from 75th Street to 85th Street. WaterOne says this project will allow crews to replace several valves on the 30-inch transmission line which lies under Quivira Road. The southbound lanes will remain closed for approximately three weeks according to the City of Lenexa, and northbound lanes will not be affected.


Detours will be marked and will include suggested detours of Pflumm Road and Nieman Road/Marshal Drive. Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead and choose an alternate route throughout both projects.
