Here are some of the biggest Lenexa road projects planned in 2023

Lenexa plans to spend roughly $7 million on its major street maintenance projects in 2023. 

That list includes the first round of street reconstruction in central Lenexa and resurfacing on major thoroughfares.

Traffic and upkeep projects in Lenexa pull funding from the city’s street maintenance sales tax, property tax and some outside sources.
