Kansas Department of Transportation Road Squad Leader Debbie Tanking says they still have a few buildings and properties they are looking to acquire before they can go forward with construction and hope to have that wrapped up by spring 2024.
Tanking say Topeka will start seeing changes like municipal and utility relocation relocation later this summer. KDOT says expect to see noticeable progress by late 2024 into early 2025.
