About the Roy Blunt Luminary Park

The Roy Blunt Luminary Park (formerly the South Loop Project) is a sustainable urban park over I-670 linking adjacent communities, and a collaborative effort led by the City of Kansas City, the Downtown Council of Kansas City, and Port KC. As a public green space and state-of-the-art destination park, it may include features such as accessible play spaces, public entertainment forums, multimodal transportation options and more. Once complete, the 5.5-acre park will serve as a landmark green space featuring inclusive play areas, entertainment amenities, and multimodal transportation options.

Construction is starting with Phase One, which builds approximately 50 percent of the tunnel along I-670 and constructs the first block of the park from Wyandotte Street to Baltimore Avenue near the Convention Center. Future phases will complete the full park as funding and schedule allow. When finished, the park will feature green space, inclusive play areas, entertainment amenities, and multimodal transportation options.

The project team includes HNTB, OJB, BNIM, and vital key stakeholders. Clarkson Construction and JE Dunn serve as the Construction Management/General Contractor (CM/GC).
