Special to The Gazette
In accordance with measures outlined by State Budget Director Shawn Sullivan
today, the Kansas Department of Transportation will
delay two categories of road
projects scheduled for fiscal
years 2017 and 2018.
This includes the fourlane expressway on U.S.
Highway 40 west of Emporia, for a distance of one
mile, and the two-lane reconstruction of Kansas Highway
31 east of Osage City to U.S.
Highway 75.
Previously-programmed
modernization and expansion projects will be delayed until remaining State
Highway Fund revenues allow or new money is made
available. Modernization
and expansion projects are
generally the larger projects
under the current T-WORKS
transportation program.
Modernization includes
work such as the addition
of shoulders, passing lanes
and remediation of hills and
curves. Expansion projects
add capacity to the highway
system.
The delays in FY 2017
will include ten projects that
have an estimated construction cost of $273.5 million;
in FY 2018, the delays include 15 projects that have
an estimated construction
cost of $279.2 million.
“Despite the delays, the
overall good condition of the
10,000-mile state highway
system won’t be impacted
since KDOT’s preservation
projects will be let to contract as scheduled and will
be funded at the $400 million per year level. Nor will
these delays affect projects
that are already underway.”
said Kansas Transportation
Secretary Mike King.
The preservation program covers a range of work,
including pavement and
bridge repair, resurfacing
and replacement.
“I also want to assure our
city and county partners that
there will be no change in
the amount of revenue they
receive from the Special City
County Highway Fund (SCCHF),” Secretary King said.
Annually, KDOT shares
about a third, or almost $150
million, of the state fuels tax
revenue with local governments through SCCHF. The
project delays also won’t affect other KDOT programs
that fund aviation, rail, public transit and more.
