Fresh Pavement is Coming to Main Street!

Starting Monday, March 31, mill and overlay work resumes on the KC Streetcar Main Street Extension corridor between Linwood Boulevard and 49th Street. This work will happen in phases, is expected to last several weeks, and is weather-dependent.  

JM Fahey Construction Co., under the direction of KC Streetcar Constructors, will start on March 31 near the 34th Street and Main Street intersection and work south towards Emanuel Cleaver II Boulevard. 

Please note, this project will only mill and overlay to 49th Street/Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. 49th Street-51st Street is not within the scope of the Main Street Extension project at this time.

Traffic Changes Ahead! 

Please be alert - traffic patterns will change during resurfacing operations. Use caution when traveling near work zones and follow posted traffic control. 

What is Mill & Overlay? 

Mill and overlay is when crews remove the top layer of pavement on a road and replace it with a new layer of asphalt, resulting in a smooth street. All work is weather-dependent and might pause due to rain or low temperatures. Crews completed resurfacing on Main Street between Pershing Road and Linwood Boulevard last fall.  

Following completion of mill and overlay activities, new pavement striping will be installed on the Main Street Extension corridor from Pershing Road to 51st Street. This includes new pavement markings for transit exclusive lanes. More information about pavement striping will be posted on our X account, @BuildKCSC.
