Toll Route Progress Through Douglas County Spotlighted
A Douglas County section of the toll road cuts through varied terrain near Lawrence, with about 2 million of 38 million yards of earth moved for a 34 mile stretch. The $215 per mile grading rate ranks among the highest on the 236 mile route as vast pack excavation shapes the western corn lands and the road’s approach through rolling hills. Douglas County gains a front row view of the project.
