~ As the World Cup matches in Kansas City have come to an end, KC Water and field crews are gearing up to resume work on the Westport Stormwater Improvements project. After a brief pause, crews will be returning to the project site on Monday, July 20th.

The resumption of work will involve the closure of two streets in the Westport Area. Mill Street at Southwest Trafficway will be closed starting Monday, July 20th, while Westport Road between Mill Street and Bridger Road will be closed on Thursday, July 24th. However, Mill Street at Westport Road will remain open and accessible to businesses and driveways.
