Potential projects
This section will be updated as projects are identified.
County Commission Approved for Application
- Mill and Overlay 295th St. West from 21st St. North to 61st St. North
(CIP Project R-323): $805,000. Includes removing the weathered
asphalt surface as required and constructing two-inch hot mix asphalt
overlay on 295th St. West from 21st St. North to 61st St. N. (See
Map)
This segment of 29th St. West was scheduled for construction of an asphalt seal in 2010. Use of the ARRA funding will allow for the use of a two-inch asphalt overlay which is more substantial than the previously scheduled pavement maintenance work. This work is expected to extend the life of the existing pavement by at least seven years.
Federal Awards and Status
- Partnership Project - 47th St. South Corridor Project (CIP Project R-312): $16
million - apparent low bidder is Dondlinger and Sons.
Includes reconstruction of 47th St. South between Broadway and Lulu
including the bridge over the Kansas Turnpike and the interchange with
I-135. (See Map)
This corridor is one of the three or four most congested areas of the local transportation system. Commonly known as the “south junction,” the corridor ties together the Kansas Turnpike, US-81, I-135, I-235 and 47th St. South. The project will relieve congestion and replace a failing bridge.
Sedgwick County is contributing $500,000 toward the acquisition of right of way for the project. The City of Wichita also is contributing $500,000 for right-of-way acquisition. KDOT has allocated ARRA and other state funds toward the project.
- Mill and inlay Rock Road from Wichita City Limits to Derby City
Limits (CIP Project R-322): $2.3 million. Includes removing the
weathered asphalt surface and constructing two-inch hot mix asphalt inlay
on Rock Road from Oak Knoll to one half mile north of 63rd St. South. (See
Map)
This segment of Rock Road was scheduled for construction of an asphalt seal in 2010. Use of the ARRA funding will allow for the use of a two-inch asphalt inlay, which is more substantial than the previously scheduled pavement maintenance work. This work is expected to extend the life of the existing pavement by at least seven years.
