West Lawrence U.S. 40 (6th St.) and K-10 Interchange Improvements

completed

KDOT’s West Lawrence U.S. 40 (6th Street) and K-10 Interchange Improvements Project reconfigured the existing interchange into a diverging diamond interchange (DDI). A DDI enhances safety and mobility by reducing potential crash points at intersections and by allowing more vehicles to move through the intersection. The interchange includes a sidewalk with barriers down the center of the bridge to provide protection for pedestrians. The DDI is a design innovation that improves safety and mobility, often at a much lower cost, compared to conventional interchange designs.
