Pryor Road Improvements Phase 2

Hook Road to M-150

The City of Lee’s Summit is designing infrastructure improvements for the Pryor Road corridor from Hook Road to M-150, a project approved by voters with the passage of the 2017 sales tax initiative. The project goals are to enhance safety, improve roadway operations, provide pedestrian and bicycle amenities, and facilitate growth and livability for residents in southwest Lee’s Summit.

Public Meeting and Online Comments

The City hosted a public meeting on Sept. 10, 2026, to discuss the proposed design and infrastructure improvements to the Pryor Road corridor from Hook Road to M-150 Highway. This meeting was attended by City staff and representatives from the project’s engineering design consultant Affinis. Project exhibits were available for public inspection at the meeting and online. Comments will also be accepted online from Sept. 10 - 24, and will be made a part of the public meeting record for the project. The meeting was an open house-style format and there was no formal presentation, allowing those interested in the project to come and go as schedules allow.

Proposed Pryor Road Phase 2 project improvements include an additional third lane and turn lanes, along with sidewalk, shared-use path, curb, and street lighting from Hook Road to M-150 Highway. 

These project investments will be impactful, yet beneficial to residents and businesses along the corridor, in adjacent neighborhoods, and community-wide. The City anticipates these improvements will promote economic activity and investment along Pryor Road, a key corridor in southwest Lee’s Summit, and will also support the City’s Livable Streets Policy and impending future development.

Project News

The purpose of the meeting was to present the Preliminary Design for the Pryor Road (Phase 2) project to the public, and to provide an opportunity for you to discuss any concerns you may have with members of the design team and City staff. Online comments will be accepted until Sept. 24.

Construction of Phase 1 is expected to be complete in the Summer of 2027. In order to maintain project separation and limit disruption to traffic, Phase 2 will begin after Phase 1 has reached substantial completion.

Preliminary design plans (70% level of design) have been completed and utility companies are working on their plans for necessary utility relocation work ahead of construction.

Utility relocations are expected to begin in the Fall of 2026. Roadway construction is expected to begin in the Summer of 2027.

Upon utility relocation completion, roadway construction is expected to take approximately 1 year. However, the construction activities at any one location may be much less.

Construction is expected to be completed by the Summer of 2028.

Once the contractor is selected, there will be a pre-construction meeting with the property owners and residents. During this meeting, a schedule and work plan will be presented.

Most of the time, you will be able to park in your driveway in the evenings. There will be intermittent times when the contractor may have sections of the road closed to install improvements and allow new concrete to cure. At those times, you should park on adjacent streets. The Contractor is allowed to close residential driveways no more than 21 calendar days.

No. At certain times, you will not be able to enter your driveway due to the construction of the concrete pavement and curb and gutter in front of the driveway or construction of the driveway itself. You will not be able to enter the driveway because of the time required for the concrete to cure. At certain times during the project, traffic will travel in one direction only, during that time you will be required to park in front of your property outside of the contractor’s working hours. If you have special needs for access for medical or other reasons, please let the City know so we can make accomodations.

The contractor will notify you of times you will not have access to your driveway by placing a door hanger on your property at least 24 hours prior to the work.

At a minimum, the City will replace your existing driveway with concrete pavement between the back of curb and gutter to a location that matches the existing grade and slope. If additional driveway removal is required to provide a smooth transition from your existing driveway to the proposed roadway, the City will construct additional concrete driveway to create this transition. The slope of the driveway may increase or decrease to meet the American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements or updated road profile standards.

The contractor has the discretion to perform extra work as requested by property owners. The homeowner will have the opportunity to meet the roadway contractor at the pre-construction meeting. At that time, the homeowner can contact the contractor about extra work. All extra work performed by the contractor will be between the property owner and the contractor.

The City of Lee’s Summit’s construction inspector will be on-site to monitor the contractor.

You will not lose mail service during construction.

It is critical for property owners and residents to inform the City staff about anything special regarding your property. This information is very important to the success of the construction project. Please submit the comment form if you have not done so already.

Property owners may be asked to sign temporary and/or permanent easements to allow the City and its contractor access to install some of the improvements. Additional information on required easements will be sent to those property owners in future correspondence.

Yards disturbed as part of construction will be sodded or seeded at project completion.

The contractor will be required to water and maintain the sod or seed while it is being installed. After installation is complete, sod care and maintenance will become the responsibility of the property owner.
