	Additionally the 167th Street interchange is also being upgraded from a half-access interchange to a full-access interchange with a dog-bone roundabout configuration. Currently 167th street is only accessible via a southbound offramp and northbound onramp. This upgrade will complete access to and from the south and improve intersection operations of anticipated higher traffic volumes as the area continues to grow. 167th Street in the area will be also widened to 4 lanes.

	===More Information===		==Update and Project Completion==

			This project is now substantially complete. Tolling has begun and the lanes are fully automated for use with the K-Tag and interoperable tags from TX, OK, and FL. License plates will pay a higher toll. It remains to be seen i the tolling will end once the bonds are paid off, or how long it will be before additional capacity is needed along the corridor. I can see potentially needing to extend the toll express lane to end at 167th street in the next few years as drivers begin using the tolled lane to avoid congestion during peak periods.

			The new interchange at 167th street is also now substantially complete with landscaping work remaining in the roundabout and ramp approaches, so some lane closures might remain until that work is complete.

69 Express is a project located on US Highway 69 which will construct an express toll lane (ETL) from 103rd street south to just north of 151st Street in the city of Overland Park Kansas.

The project will reconstruct a new single toll lane in the median of the northbound and southbound lanes of the expressway. This will include direct express toll lane access at Blue Valley Parkway. Once completed and opened the managed lane will have overhead tolling gantries installed to collect tolls to users of the lane at specific entry points. Toll pricing will be demand based and will be higher during higher congestion periods. At this time there does not seem to be an HOV (toll free or reduced toll) option associated with this project for HOV users (2 or more vehicle occupancy).

Southbound features of this project include:
*Southbound Managed express lane entrance at 103rd street (left lane becomes managed express toll lane)
*Managed express lane access to 135th Street
*Direct Managed express lane access lane from Blue Valley Parkway
*Managed express lane access from mainline lanes just south of Blue Valley Parkway
Managed express lane ends north of 151st Street - access to mainline lanes

Northbound features of this project include:
*Managed lane begins north of 151st Street - managed lane access
*Northbound direct managed express lane exit to Blue Valley Parkway
*Northbound managed express lane entrance/exit just north of Blue Valley parkway interchange
*Managed express lane ends at 103rd Street - becomes a regular mixed use freeway lane
