120th Street NW between Echo Ave NW and Falcon Ave NW in Johnson County set for daytime closure on October 22

Weather permitting, 120th Street NW between Echo Ave NW and Falcon Ave NW will be closed for several hours beginning at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 22, so County crews can extend a box culvert. Once the closure is open, one lane traffic will alternate through the site with flaggers until the work is completed. 

Drive with caution, obey the posted speed limit and other signs in the work area, and be aware that traffic fines for moving violations are at least double in work zones. As in all work zones, you should stay alert, allow ample space between vehicles and wear seat belts.
