East Kellogg Expansion

With more lanes, new intersection designs and improved access to the Kansas Turnpike, improvements along East Kellogg will add up to improved travel in east Wichita. The collaborative plan is a partnership between the City of Wichita, the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) and Kansas Turnpike Authority (KTA). Improvements are being managed in two projects: the Webb Road intersection and the Greenwich to K-96 corridor. Construction for both projects is anticipated to be complete in late 2021.

Update 04/01/2020

CORONAVIRUS-19 UPDATE: Construction continues along East Kellogg. Construction projects are deemed essential services to ensure transportation of goods and services, including groceries and medical supplies. All partners are following strict guidelines as recommended by authorities to ensure the health of employees and the public.

Construction continues and significant milestones have been met. Two lanes of the East Kellogg mainline have opened in each direction, the Webb Road intersection and seven of the eight bridges for the project are substantially complete.

Short-term traffic impacts include:

Drivers on East Kellogg should expect temporary closures of U-turn lanes at Webb Road and Greenwich to allow for painting. Closures will be scheduled for off-peak hours.
Drivers should expect intermittent lane closures along frontage roads between Webb Road and K-96, as construction continues on ramps, curbs and back-fill areas.
Greenwich traffic could have intermittent lane closures as lighting is installed under the bridges.
Drivers along Webb Road at East Kellogg should expect intermittent lane closures to allow for concrete work at the corners of the intersection.

Long-term traffic impacts include:

For drivers along East Kellogg, the eastbound K-96 Ramp to westbound US 54 is closed for the construction of two bridges over the Kansas Turnpike, a new ramp to WB US 54 and the completion of the US 54 freeway.
Drivers exiting the shopping plaza between Greenwich and Zelta will need to use the Greenwich ramps to travel east or west on Kellogg as the temporary “shoofly” road just east of Zelta has been removed.
Access to/from the KTA plaza 50 near Webb Road is via the south frontage road.
Drivers on the Kansas Turnpike can expect single lane closures both directions between the K-96 and Webb/Kellogg toll plazas.
Kellogg speed limit reduced to 40 mph between Cypress and 143rd Streets, and the speed limit on Webb Road and Greenwich is reduced to 30 mph in the construction zone for the remainder of the project.
