OLATHE, Kan. — After months of construction, thousands of Johnson County drivers have a reason to celebrate.

The city said that the 119th Street bridge over I-35 is now open to traffic, after being closed for months. In June, the city of Olathe said the project would take longer than originally expected due to steel delivery delays. Construction will continue on the project through the end of the year.
