K-99 Corridor Improvement Project

Welcome The purpose of today’s Public Open House is to provide you the opportunity to review proposed changes to the K-99 Corridor. Kansas Department of Transportation staff is on hand to explain the proposed improvements, answer your questions and take your comments. Feel free to look at all of the displays and talk to the KDOT staff.

Project Overview The K-99 Corridor Improvement Project comprises K-99 from the I-70 interchange to just south of the Kansas River bridge in Wabaunsee County. The existing roadway consists of 2 12-foot lanes with 2-foot shoulders, steep side slopes, and horizontal and vertical curves that do not meet current design criteria. The goal of the K-99 project is to improve increasing traffic and safety concerns by providing wider shoulders, flatter side slopes, and increased stopping and passing sight distances. The roadway improvements will be on an offset alignment and provide 2 12-foot lanes with 10-foot paved shoulders.

The corridor is broken into three segments. Segment A extends from the K-99 and I-70 interchange north 2.4 miles to just south of Hereford Road. Segment B begins just south of Hereford Road and extends 3.9 miles north approximately 1/3-mile south of the K-99 and K-18 intersection. Segment C will tie into Segment B approximately 3/4-miles south of the K-99 and K-18 intersection and extend north approximately 3.7 miles to the south end of the Kansas River Bridge.

Based on crash data and input from local officials and KDOT staff, the segments have been prioritized to address the areas with the greatest safety concerns.

Priority #1 ► Segment B

Priority #2 ► Segment A

Priority #3 ► Segment C
