Missouri Route 291 Intersection Improvements

completed

This project will improve safety at the intersections of MO Route 291 and Scherer Rd./Thompson Dr. and 16th St. in Lee's Summit, MO. The project includes the installation of turn lanes and traffic signals at the Scherer Rd./Thompson Dr. intersection. The project also includes the addition of right turn lanes and removal of the median cross-over and left turn lanes at the 16th St intersection. The new turn lanes and traffic signals at Scherer Rd./Thompson Dr. will provide for the safe, orderly, and efficient movement of traffic with improved access to MO Route 291. Removal of the median cross-over and turn lanes at 16th will eliminate left turn and cross-over traffic movements in order to improve safety. The improvements at Scherer Rd./Thompson Dr. will improve access to MO Route 291. The improvements at 16th St will shift left turning and cross-over traffic movements to adjacent intersections at Scherer Rd./Thompson Dr. and Persels Rd./Bailey Rd.
