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.
