Buchanan County Route FF intersection project moves to the next phase

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (KQTV) -- Leavenworth Excavating & Equipment Company, Inc., is completing work on the north side of the U.S. Route 169 and Buchanan County Route FF intersection.

Beginning Thursday, July 16, crews are scheduled to move to the next phase of construction on the south side of the intersection.

There will be traffic impacts from a 10-foot width restriction placed on both lanes; flaggers may be present intermittently during construction.

Access to 49th Street and Route FF will be maintained during this stage of construction.

The project will widen the intersection and construct two large concrete truck aprons on Route FF and 49th Street.

All work is weather-permitting and is anticipated to be complete by mid-August 2026.
