Project Description
As recommended in the 2005/2006 K-7 Corridor Management Study, anticipated traffic growth indicates that K-7 will need to be a freeway without traffic signals in the future. Based on this finding, the Kansas Department of Transportation is conducting a more in-depth study of the proposed interchanges at K-7 and I-70, and adjacent interchanges at K-7 and 130th Street and K-7 and Kansas Avenue to verify how the interchange concepts will serve long-range traffic projections. To do this, the study will look at how the on- and off-ramps, associated collector-distributor roads, and through lanes work together so that motorists can safely and easily transfer from one highway to the other or access local roads such as 130th Street and Kansas Avenue.
