KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas Governor Laura Kelly announced $5.3 million in awards will go toward 11 transportation construction projects in Kansas.
These projects are part of the Kansas Department of Transportation’s (KDOT) Cost Share Program for spring 2025. The state investment will also include nearly $3 million in community matching funds, amounting to more than $8 million for infrastructure improvements.
“These Cost Share-funded projects are a prime example of smart government investments,” Gov. Kelly said. “Through infrastructure and transportation improvements, we are making Kansas an even better place to live, to work and to raise a family.”
She said the KDOT Cost Share Program focuses improving safety, supporting job retention and growth, alleviating congestion and enhancing access and mobility for Kansans.
“Our communities know their transportation needs best, and the Cost Share Program gives them the agency to address those challenges head-on,” said Transportation Secretary Calvin Reed. “KDOT is dedicated to this partnership, creating effective, local solutions that deliver transportation that keeps Kansans moving forward.”
