Study on Hutchinson Wichita highway link and costs
A Kansas study released recently examines a four lane link between Hutchinson and Wichita begun seven months ago. The plan estimates a cost between 55 and 79 million dollars and a five year construction period. Residents along the routes support the project while funding asks loom. Critics warn about statewide tradeoffs and shrinking federal and state dollars. A Southeast Kansas proposal from Pittsburg to Wichita is also cited, with supporters arguing regional economic benefits. A past idea to float bonds for super roads is noted as shelved, with calls to revive it.
