A two-mile stretch of East Kellogg — from K-96 to 159th Street in Andover — will be reconstructed into a six-lane highway, the Kansas Department of Transportation announced this week. The $230-million expansion is expected to begin in 2023 — one of 11 around the state unveiled in a second pipeline of projects under the IKE transportation plan. The state says expanding East Kellogg from the K-96 interchange to about a half-mile east of 159th Street will improve traffic on a busy stretch of highway heading out of Wichita. Currently it’s a four-lane roadway, and there are signs more commercial development is headed to some of the vacant properties fronting Kellogg.
