🚧ROAD CLOSURE🚧
235th Street Reconstruction, Hollingsworth to Dempsey Road
Phase 1 Closure – For Public
Beginning Monday 9/29/25 the section of 235th Street from Hollingsworth to Dempsey shall be closed to through traffic for the 235th Street Reconstruction project. This section of roadway will remain closed to through traffic until October 3, 2026. Access to 235th Street, including the Kissinger Road intersection, will be closed to all traffic other than adjacent property owners within the project, emergency vehicles, school busses, postal service, and delivery vehicle traffic.
The initial construction phase will consist of a full road closure of 235th Street located approximately 0.3-mile south of the intersection of Dempsey Road & 235th Street. 235th Street will remain impassible at this location until approximately December 1, 2025. The full closure is required to reconstruct the reinforced box culvert drainage structure at this location.
Signs have been installed alerting the public of the impending road closure. Additionally, advance notice warning barricades will be placed at 227th Street and Kissinger Road. Once Phase 1 construction is complete the Leavenworth County Public Works will provide updated closure information for the project.
The detour route for the full duration of this project consists of Hollingsworth, west from the 235th intersection to 243rd Street, then north on 243rd Street and Levee 8 Road to the curve onto Dempsey Road and continuing east to 235th Street intersection.

🚧BRIDGE CLOSURE🚧
Bridge T-50 on Parallel Road west of 219th Street experienced a deck failure and developed a full depth hole on Saturday. After an evaluation was made yesterday by Leavenworth County’s contracted bridge engineer, it was determined that Road and Bridge will make repairs to the bridge. These repairs will take several days and then the concrete patch will need to reach strength for 10-14 days. After this is complete, the engineer will assess the repairs and lower the bridges weight limit. The county is initiating the process to have a new bridge designed for replacement of the structure immediately. The fastest timetable for construction and replacement of the bridge is 12-16 months.
