Lindsborg Funds Secure K-4 Reconstruction in Latest State Highway Investment
City to receive $11 million project as part of $442 million statewide transportation announcement
LINDSBORG, Kan. — Governor Laura Kelly and Kansas Department of Transportation Secretary Calvin Reed announced Tuesday that Lindsborg will receive $11 million to reconstruct K-4 and Bethany Drive, part of nine new highway projects totaling more than $442 million statewide under the Eisenhower Legacy Transportation Program. The Lindsborg project, scheduled for construction in 2029, will create a more functional entrance into the city from I-135 and remove an aging bridge that requires ongoing maintenance.
The announcement marks the fourth round of projects moved into KDOT's construction pipeline under the Kelly administration's 10-year IKE program, bringing total statewide investment to over $2.7 billion. Mayor Clark Shultz joined state officials at the Lindsborg announcement event, along with representatives from other selected projects including Osborne County Commissioner Craig Pottberg and Wichita Public Works Director Gary Janzen. Governor Kelly emphasized that KDOT has met mid-program targets for each of its six geographic regions.
The remaining eight projects span from Leavenworth County's $157 million Centennial Bridge replacement to passing lane additions on rural highways in Scott, Finney, Anderson and Allen counties. The largest single investment outside Leavenworth will be $120 million for K-96 interchange improvements in Sedgwick County. Construction timelines for all projects range from 2028 to 2030, with the program designed to benefit rural, suburban and urban communities across Kansas.
