Report issued on progress of East Kellogg project

The City of Wichita and state transportation officials have released information on several major milestones that were accomplished during the past year with the East Kellogg freeway project.

The city produced a video with the Kansas Department of Transportation and the Kansas Turnpike Authority that lists the accomplishments of the project in 2020:

–          Substantial completion of the Webb Road project, including a redesigned East Kellogg and Webb Road intersection and widening of Kellogg from Webb to Greenwich. Additional aesthetic improvements were integrated into the overall design.

–          The opening of westbound K-96 ramp and the completion of the westbound Kellogg bridge opened the stream of traffic from east to west, improving commutes and allowing commerce to flow.

–          Completion of the Zelta intersection and frontage roads along the north and south sides of East Kellogg, improving safety and access to businesses and retail establishments from Webb Road to east of Zelta.

–          Significant completion of the Turnpike’s first cashless tolling exit, providing southbound Kansas Turnpike travelers with an easy connection to westbound Kellogg. The exit is expected to open in early February 2021.

The second project, which will be completed this year, will continue widening Kellogg to a six-lane freeway between Greenwich Road and K-96.   New ramps will be constructed for eastbound U.S. 54 to northbound and southbound I-35, the Kansas Turnpike.
