Welcome to the Johnson County Gateway Project!
Did you know that over 230,000 vehicles use the I-435/I-35/K-10 Interchange today?
That’s a whole lot of traffic. Looking ahead, that number’s predicted to grow to 380,000 by the year 2040. Of course, there are great reasons for the growth.
Reasons for traffic growth effecting JoCo Gateway Interchange:
Development along K-10 west to Lawrence
BNSF Intermodal to the south
Redevelopment of downtown Kansas City
Developments of Village West to the north and Missouri to the east

When you take all of that into consideration, it’s safe to say the Interchange is a critical hub for both transportation and economic growth for the region and the state – precisely why the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) began the project. Once completed, the Johnson County Gateway Project will ensure safe and efficient travel to all areas of development for years to come.

To improve the Interchange for the future, KDOT has created a plan under the T-WORKS program that will:
- Meet the traffic demands of today and tomorrow
- Improve safety
- Sustain economic development
- Replace declining infrastructure
