Suggestions
for highway sought

County residents can say where they want passing lanes, longer exit lanes, or other suggestions for US-56 from McPherson to US-77 east of Marion at a 4:30 p.m. July 23 public forum at Marion Community Center.

Kansas Department of Transportation is studying adding paved shoulders and identifying locations for passing lanes to the 36-mile corridor.

It also will explore opportunities to prioritize safety, including consolidating access points and improving intersections.

Information will be gathered through spring of 2026.
