167th Street Preliminary
Engineering Study

Client: City of Overland Park, Kansas

Affinis was selected for this preliminary engineering study along the 167th Street Corridor. The purpose of this study is to provide vertical and horizontal alignment to serve as a planning tool for future development and to develop opinions of project cost for the purposes of capital improvement budgeting.   A significant portion of the study was determining the sizes of bridges and reinforced concrete boxes throughout the Coffee Creek drainage basin.

Approximately 9.5 miles of thoroughfare corridors
were studied, including:

• 167th Street, Pflumm Road to Metcalf Avenue
• Pflumm Road from 159th Street to 175th Street
• Quivira Road from 159th Street to 167th Street
• Switzer Road from 159th Street to 167th Street
• Antioch Road from 159th Street to 167th Street

SIGNIFICANT DESIGN ITEMS:

• Establish design criteria
• Determine major drainage improvements
• Bridge size, type and location analysis
• Required right-of-way acquisitions
• Recommended typical sections
• Utility relocation requirements
• Preliminary cost estimates
• Proposed horizontal and vertical roadway alignments
