Project Description
The K-96 Improvements Project aims to upgrade the K-96 corridor between I-135 and I-35. Improvements are needed to increase freeway capacity, enhance reliability and relieve traffic congestion to keep Kansans moving.
The project area extends from the K-96 and I-135 interchange (near Hydraulic Avenue) approximately 9.5 miles east/southeast to north of the K-96/U.S. 54/400 interchange. Through traffic engineering studies and environmental review, the project will explore pavement replacement, adding new lanes and includes upgrades to the Hillside, Oliver, Woodlawn, Rock, Webb, Greenwich, and 21st Street interchanges.
