Project Description

The Dodge City intersection improvement project rebuilt the U.S. 56/U.S. 283/U.S. 400/2nd Avenue intersection into a roundabout to serve current and future traffic demands. Traffic volumes are expected to increase at this location due to new developments such as the state-of-the-art Hilmar Cheese facility being constructed in the southeast quadrant of the intersection. 

The results from a traffic impact study, commissioned by Ford County and Dodge City, showed a roundabout with two oversized load bypass legs in the southern two quadrants of the intersection as a preferred alternative. A consultant confirmed a single-lane roundabout at this location would provide the best level of service and operations for future traffic demands.
