6th St. and K-10 KDOT project to begin February 28

Originally set for construction in 2023, Crews from KDOT will close 6th St. between E. 800 Rd. and E. 900 Rd. beginning Wednesday, February 28, to begin the US-40/K-10 interchange project. Local access to E. 818 and 848 roads will be available at the west barricades, near E. 800 Rd. Access to 900 Rd. north of 6th St. will be maintained during the closure.

KDOT’s interchange project includes the reconfiguration of the existing diamond interchange to a diverging diamond interchange with new ramps, signals, and bike/ped facilities.

The construction west of K-10 will extend west of the southbound ramps to improve the profile of 6th St. and the extension of a city 4-lane street with turn lanes at the intersection of John Wesley Dr. Additionally, a road will be constructed to maintain access for county residents with access off of E. 900 Rd. to the north.

For any questions related to this particular project, please contact Kate Craft, kate.craft@ks.gov.
