State and city leaders broke ground Thursday on a much anticipated change in Overland Park. Overland Park approved a plan to add toll lanes to U.S. Highway 69 in 2021. Road crews will spend the next two years building express lanes along the highway from 103rd to 151st streets. The Kansas Department of Transportation said U.S. 69 is the busiest highway in the state, making congestion a problem. Traffic can back up for miles during rush hour.
