Project Description
The 2015 KLINK project includes the milling and overlay of pavement on Iowa Street between 23rd Street and the Irving Hill Road bridge and Harvard Road to south of 6th Street (see attached map). Repairing these sections of road will provide a new surface on Iowa Street from 23rd Street to 6th Street which will tie together the three recent 2013/2014 intersection reconstruction projects at 6th, 15th, and 23rd and Iowa. New pavement markings will be included and video detection camera systems will be installed on traffic signals at the 19th & Iowa, Harvard & Iowa, and 9th & Iowa intersections. The project will cause minor traffic interruptions and lane closures during the mill and overlay operations, but will maintain at least one through lane in each direction at all times.
Portions of this project will be occurring during the same time as KU makes improvements to the Irving Hill Bridge. The City and KU will work together and coordinate the work to minimize traffic disruptions and maintain at least one lane of traffic in each direction open at all times.
Project Funding
The project bid at $796,227.35. The city had budgeted for the project to cost $800,000 with $200,000 being funded by KDOT.
