More than 20 projects aimed at
improving intersections and roads in Kansas cities have been selected for
funding through the Kansas Department of Transportation’s
City Connecting Link Improvement Program (CCLIP), which funds improvements to
state highways that extend through cities.
The cities will receive a combined
total of approximately $18 million in funding
under the CCLIP for these 23 projects. This total includes $7 million in state
fiscal year 2021 and $11 million in state fiscal year 2022.
“KDOT was able to add $5 million
into the CCLIP because of the additional $50 million that the Governor provided
as a one-time transfer from the State General Fund,” said Deputy Secretary
Lindsey Douglas. “Communities
then provided an additional $6.5 million in matching funds to create a total of
$11.5 million beyond the initial plan to expand the
amount invested in various projects.”
“This is a popular program with
communities and allows them an opportunity to receive funding that improves
safety, capacity and operational needs as well as increase economic development
in their region,” said Julie Lorenz, Kansas Secretary of Transportation.
Under the CCLIP, a city is required
to contribute up to 25 percent of the project cost based on its population,
though some cities contribute significantly more. Cities under 2,500 in
population aren’t required to provide a match. Projects in this program may
fall into one of three different categories including Surface Preservation
(SP), Pavement Restoration (PR) or Geometric Improvement (GI).
SP projects involve maintenance
work such as resurfacing and are funded up
to $300,000 per project. PR projects
typically involve full-depth pavement replacement without changes to the
overall geometric characteristics and may also address drainage issues. GI
projects address geometric issues such as adding turn lanes, improving
intersections or modifying the lane configuration to address capacity. The PR
and GI categories are funded up to $1 million per project.
