KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Work on the KC Streetcar is going to change traffic beginning Monday morning.
Workers plan to begin underground electric work. It will eventually be for the Traction Power Substation that will be located on East 31st Terrace. The substation will help power the streetcar.
The work will focus on the east side of Main Street between 31st Street and Linwood Boulevard.
Monday, crews will mark temporary lanes and put out traffic cones to shift traffic to the west side of Main Street from Warwick Boulevard to 34th Street.
