The project proposes to construct a new segment of Highway K-96, approximately ten miles in length, through the northeast quadrant of the Wichita Metropolitan Area. The proposed project would extend from K-254 on the northwest, southeasterly to K-96 - U.S. 54 east of Wichita and provide a Freeway facility with full control of access, interchanges, separations, and frontage roads where required. Environmental impacts include: Acquisition of land for right-of-way; severance of property; residences would be displaced; earthwork borrow from sources outside of the right-of-way; noise and light from highway sources. However, the project is a part of the system of the State Freeway System as designated by the Kansas Legislature and would effectively serve as a National Defense Route. The proposed improvement will enhance the economic stability of Wichita. The project will tend to reduce noise levels on surface streets and roads in the area by diverting substantial volumes of traffic, especially trucks, to the new Freeway. The proposed project will provide a fast, safe and efficient transportation facility for both through and local traffic movements.
