State funding now allocated for U.S. 69 expansion

Gov. Laura Kelly has announced that the state of Kansas will provide $280 million in funding for phase 1 of the U.S. 69 expansion project, according to an email update Friday.

The state funding, combined with a $20 million local contribution solicited from revenues on an express toll lane in each direction between 151st and 103 streets will go toward the $300 million project.

Construction is slated to begin in 2022 and be open to traffic in 2025. The project expands U.S. 69 into a six-lane highway with the new lanes being express toll lanes, which are designed to reduce traffic congestion on one of the state’s busiest highways.
