Planning Today for the Needs Ahead

The existing K-7 and I-70 Interchange in Bonner Springs is a major system-to-system interchange. KDOT and its local partners are managing the K-7 Corridor by planning for large growth in this area. The K-7 Corridor Plan resulted in a new conceptual improvement alternative for the interchange. The preliminary design of the K-7 and I-70 Interchange Concept will respond to the area’s increasing capacity and economic development needs,while improving safety. Immediate improvements will involve the construction of a second left turn lane onto southbound K-7 at the I-70/Canaan Center Drive intersection to reduce bottlenecks. Construction of the turn lane will be completed during the summer of 2009. Click here to see a drawing of it.
