Ottawa Deliberates Frontage Road Versus Bridge Removal
Wednesday Ottawa officials and county commissioners discussed a Kansas Department of Transportation plan to remove the US-50 bridge at I-35 and build a frontage road. KDOT says the bridge fails height and width standards. removal would cost about 750 thousand dollars, frontage road about 2.7 million. The group favored using funds to improve Eisenhower Road and designate it a state route linking K-68 and I-35, potentially abandoning US-50 from 17th Street to I-35. County chair Tom Weigand noted the local priority remains saving the US-50 bridge, while urging KDOT to consider that preference in letters to officials.
