Governor Kelly Announces $25M for
Road Improvement Projects Across Kansas
*
TOPEKA* – Governor Laura Kelly announced Tuesday $25 million for 30 projects to improve intersections and roads across the state. The projects were selected for funding through the Kansas Department of Transportation’s (KDOT) City Connecting Link Improvement Program (CCLIP).
“Enhancing the safety and accessibility of our local highways is made possible by grants through this essential program,” *Governor Laura Kelly said.* “In turn, these roadway improvements help bring in resources and improve connectivity in various regions of the state.”
CCLIP provides funds for cities to make improvements on city connecting links that are on state highways. Selected projects are funded for the state fiscal years 2027 and 2028 selection cycle.
Under CCLIP, cities with populations above 2,500 have local minimum contribution requirements, and cities with populations over 100,000 are required to have a 25% match. Local contributions significantly expanded the scope and total impact of the selected projects, bringing their combined value to over $39 million.
“The essence of the City Connecting Links program lies in the shared commitment between KDOT and our communities,” *said Secretary of Transportation Calvin Reed.* “It's through this vital partnership that we can address both state and local transportation needs, fostering economic growth and connectivity across Kansas.”
Projects in this program may fall into one of three categories: Surface Preservation (SP), Pavement Restoration (PR), or Geometric Improvement (GI).
SP projects extend the life of the driving surface, such as overlays or joint repair, and are funded up to $400,000 per project. PR projects typically involve extensive pavement rehabilitation or full-depth pavement. GI projects focus on roadway geometrics that address safety, capacity, or operational needs, such as adding turn lanes or improving intersections. The PR and GI categories are funded up to $1.5 million per project.
