The public is invited to attend a public meeting for the K-4 modernization project in Saline County on Wednesday, December 8 from 4:30 - 6:30pm at Southeast of Saline School (5056 K-4) in Gypsum. The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) is hosting the event.
The meeting will provide an opportunity for the public to view exhibits and maps of the proposed improvements, provide input and speak one-on-one with project staff. This project is currently in the preliminary design phase. Information presented at the meeting will also be made available online beginning December 3 for those unable to attend at: ksdotike.org/k-4-saline-county. Online comment will be accepted December 3 - 17.
The project includes the reconstruction of existing K-4 from the Smoky Hill River Bridge east about 7 miles to Kipp Road. The new alignment of K-4 will be offset to the north through a majority of the project limits to address several safety improvements including a flatter profile, improved intersection sight distance and the addition of paved shoulders. Traffic will be maintained during construction via existing K-4. Temporary widening or closures with detours may be required at the eastern limits of the project.
K-4 in Saline County is a highway Modernization project currently in the Development Pipeline for the Eisenhower Legacy Transportation Program (IKE). The tentative construction letting is planned for fiscal year 2024.
