Roadway will offer better U.S. 59 access

By JENALEA MYERS, Herald Staff Writer

Travelers of the new U.S. 59 will have several access points to the new highway.

The roadway will be built as a freeway, with access only at seven interchanges in Franklin and Douglas counties, the Kansas Department of Transportation Web site states.

Franklin County interchanges will be constructed at I-35, Reno/Montana Road, Stafford Road and at a connection to existing U.S. 59, three miles north of Ottawa.

Douglas County interchanges will be built at U.S. 56, 650 N. Road and County Road 458.

Howard Lubliner, KDOT road designer, said travel frequency was considered when the access points were being determined.

“We’re trying to provide access from all major crossroads and the heaviest routes that we cross,” he said.

Selected county roads will cross the new freeway with overpasses.
