69 Express Disruptions
If you drive US 69 Highway in Kansas to get to Or HaOlam, you may not have to pay extra. Southbound drivers are “free” because the upcoming express lanes only go to the 103rd St. exit – not as far north as the 95th St. exit. Northbound drivers – you will only pay a toll if you choose to use the new designated express lanes. More Info.
