Notice of Intent to Conduct
Environmental Assessment
Public notice is hereby given that the Kansas Depart-
ment of Transportation (KDOT), in cooperation with the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), will prepare
an Environmental Assessment (EA) for a proposal to up-
grade a portion of K-96 in Wichita, Sedgwick County,
Kansas, from a four-lane to a six-lane freeway. The City
of Wichita is serving as a partner in the study.
The overall environmental study limits begin just east
of the K-96/I-135 interchange in Wichita and extend east/
southeast to just north of the K-96/US-54/US-400 inter-
change. The overall length of the proposed project is
approximately 9.5 miles. The proposed upgrade of K-96
from a four-lane to a six-lane freeway includes pavement
replacement only from 21st Street to the K-96/US-54/US-
400/I-35 Interchange. In addition, improvements at the
seven interchanges of Hillside, Oliver, Woodlawn, Rock,
Webb, Greenwich, and 21st Street are being considered.
Within the EA, KDOT and FHWA will evaluate a “No
Build” alternative as well as expansion alternatives.
Roadway configurations, including freeway main lanes
and interchange options, will be evaluated throughout
the corridor.
