Construction Update

119th Street girder set on July 11, 2024

As you may have seen, the 119th Street interchange is undergoing rapid reconstruction. Earlier this month, crews set girders for the new northbound U.S. 69 bridge over 119th Street. Currently, crews are completing a deck pour followed by paving and striping.

KTA Cashless Tolling

The Kansas Turnpike Authority (KTA) has rolled out a new cashless tolling program that allows drivers to pay tolls digitally through their DriveKS accounts. A KTAG sticker is the KTA-provided device used to facilitate all toll payments. KTAGs are also compatible with designated tolls in Oklahoma, Texas, Florida and Colorado. Drivers with KTAGs automatically receive a 50% discount on tolls compared to those without a compatible transponder! Interested in a FREE K-TAG? Please visit the KTA website for more information
