Site work and paving for a road / highway in Topeka, Kansas. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway; and for paving for a road / highway.

This project aims to enhance traffic operations, safety, and the level of service in the SW Wanamaker Road, SW Huntoon Street, I-470/Wanamaker Exit Ramp, and I-470/Winding Road entrance ramp areas. Currently, this region faces congestion and operates at a low level of service. The existing roadway network within the bounded area of SW Huntoon Street, SW Urish Road, SW 17th Street, and SW Wanamaker Road is operating at or near capacity in multiple locations. Previous traffic impact studies for proposed developments in the area have indicated potential traffic operation failures at several intersections due to further development. City staff, in collaboration with the Kansas Department of Transportation and a consultant, conducted a Traffic Impact Study to determine necessary geometric and intersection improvements, as well as access control measures required to accommodate the anticipated increase in traffic from future developments. There is a possibility of this being a joint City and KDOT project The project is included in the City's 2026-2031 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
