KC Streetcar Constructors to Work Overnight in River Market Neighborhood

Crews will work overnight at 2nd Street, east of Grand Boulevard, to minimize traffic impacts.

(Kansas City, MO) - On Monday, May 22 and Tuesday, May 23, Magnum Boring, under the direction of KC Streetcar Constructors, will work overnight at 2nd Street, east of Grand Boulevard, to perform underground electrical work. Construction will start as early as 12:30 a.m. and last until 4:30 a.m. The intersection will be closed during overnight work hours and will reopen during non-construction hours. This work will not impact KC Streetcar service.

WHO: Magnum Boring, under the direction of KC Streetcar Constructors

WHEN: Monday, May 22 and Tuesday, May 23. 

WHERE: Overnight work will only take place at the east side of the intersection of 2nd Street and Grand Boulevard. All other work for the KC Streetcar Main Street Extension will continue to take place during normal working hours.

WHAT: Crews will first pothole to be sure the area is clear of utilities then install electrical conduits and wires by directional boring. This is a technique performed to avoid digging trenches and disrupting the surface.

During overnight work, KC Streetcar Constructors will monitor the decibel levels of all equipment being used in the work zone. Backup alarms on equipment will be switched to white noise to keep the activity as quiet as possible. In addition, crews will work to make sure lighting stays within the work zone so as not to disturb nearby residences and businesses.
