Blue Valley Parkway Movements Facing North

Looking northeast, this graphic depicts the traffic movements that will be available when the new U.S. 69/Blue Valley Parkway interchange is complete. New flyover ramps will take travelers to and from Blue Valley Parkway and connect directly to the new express lanes. This configuration replaces the non-traditional left-hand entrance on southbound U.S. 69 with a traditional right hand entrance. There will also be a continuous auxiliary lane from 119th Street to 135th Street along southbound U.S. 69.
