Junction City Commissioners said yes Tuesday night to an agreement with KDOT on a cost share program to fund the reconstruction of the intersection of Ash & Eisenhower.
Ray Ibarra, Public Works Director, said the project will consist of removing asphalt at the intersection and replacing it with concrete, construction of sidewalks, ramps and crosswalk. KDOT is providing a $200,000 grant to help with the project while the City will be responsible for a $151,000 local cash match, preliminary engineering and design, right of way, utilities, and costs that exceed the maximum state award.
Local funding will come from the Special Highway or federal exchange funds. Work on the intersection could begin in November.
