Both directions of a stretch of Interstate 435 in Overland Park will be closed this weekend while work crews demolish a bridge along U.S. 69, the Kansas Department of Transportation said.
The westbound Interstate 435 to southbound U.S. 69 ramp will also be closed to traffic during the work.
The closure of eastbound and westbound lanes of the interstate, which comes as part of the U.S. 69 expansion project, will run from Quivira Road to Antioch Road, beginning 7 p.m. Friday. Weekend detours will be marked. The area will reopen to traffic by 6 a.m. Monday, the department said.
During the closure, crews will demolish the northbound U.S. 69 overpass over Interstate 435.
A long-term closure of the eastbound Interstate 435 to northbound U.S. 69 ramp and the northbound U.S. 69 to westbound Interstate 435 ramp, is scheduled to remain in place through October.
Work on the U.S. 69 reconstruction project began in 2023 and is scheduled to be completed by the end of next year. The effort will include a widening of U.S. 69 with added express toll lanes between 103rd and 151st streets and interchange updates at U.S. 69 and 167th Street.

Musk's Empire at Risk After Trump Feud Opens Multi-Front Fight

What began as Elon Musk's embrace of right-wing populism has become a defining — and potentially harmful — chapter in his business career. By endorsing Donald Trump's MAGA movement and far-right parties in Europe, Musk alienated a big portion of his original customer base, eroding Tesla's brand, sales and market share around the globe. Then came this week's rupture: a personal and public breakup with Trump that prompted threats of retaliation from a man with control over the world's most powerful government.

Porsche Mulls Doing Some Final Assembly in US to Ease Tariff Hit

Porsche AG is considering shifting certain last parts of its model assembly to the US as a way to blunt the impact of Donald Trump's tariffs on imported vehicles, according to people familiar with the matter. The Volkswagen AG controlled sports-car maker could move steps of the final assembly process, such as the installation of interior components or the fitting of tires, to a US location from Germany, said the people familiar with Chief Executive Officer Oliver Blume's thinking. Porsche currently doesn't produce any cars in the US, leaving it highly exposed to the tariffs.

Tesla's stock regains ground following Musk spat with Trump

What are the potential implications of the fallout between President Trump and Elon Musk? Tesla's stock price rose in morning trade, regaining some of the ground it lost after an acrimonious online dispute between Elon Musk, CEO of the electric car maker, and President Trump. Tesla shares closed down 14% on Thursday following the heated exchange, with Mr. Trump threatening to strip Musk's companies of their government contracts. The stock was up $15.20, or more than 5%, to $299.90 as of 10:45 a.m. EST. Wedbush tech analyst Dan Ives said the spat unnerved Tesla investors, he remained optimistic the stock would rebound. "Musk needs Trump and Trump needs Musk for many reasons, and these two becoming friends again will be a huge relief for Tesla shares," he wrote in a research note Friday. Tension between Musk and Mr. Trump "does not change our firmly bullish view of the autonomous future looking ahead that we value at $1 trillion alone for Tesla," Ives added, referring to Tesla's push into robo-taxis and self-driving cars. Musk's net worth on Thursday plunged $34 billion because of the fall in Tesla shares, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. In addition to Tesla, Musk owns The Boring Company, Neuralink, SpaceX, X (formerly known as Twitter) and xAI. Tesla share prices have fallen 26% this year.
