I-235 Green Project
- A glimpe at the recent past: Southbound I-235 traffic is no longer on these lanes and northbound lanes are fully open.
- Dirt work and concrete pavement placement is now a thing of the past. All three lanes of SB I-235 are open (plus the SB I-235 ramps at Broadway).
- A bridge pour on a new bridge over the Little Arkansas River was successfully completed in spite of distant lightning. Traffic is now using the new bridge.
- The Seneca Street bridge over I-235 was removed and will not be replaced. Businesses and residents now have access from N. Meridian Avenue.
