Highway Links to Oklahoma Port Pushes Kansas Turnpikes
The Kansas Senate Transportation and Utilities Committee heard support for a House bill to build turnpikes from Kansas City to the Oklahoma border and from Hays via Wichita. Backers say extending Arkansas River navigation to Catoosa and improving Kansas City airport would boost feasibility, cut freight rates, and aid wheat exports to New Orleans. Witness Don Pray of the Wichita Chamber of Commerce estimated navigation to Catoosa by next year and noted a 500 mile shorter water route from Denver to New Orleans via the Arkansas River Valley.
