The Kansas Department of Transportation will announce upcoming highway projects under a new program that passed the Kansas Legislature in March.

KDOT Secretary Julie Lorenz, along with Governor Laura Kelly, stakeholders and legislators will announce major highway projects under the new Eisenhower Legacy Transportation Program. Under the new program, every region of the state will see modernization and expansion work sooner rather than later and expansion projects will be selected for the development pipeline every two years instead of every 10 years. Every Kansas county will also receive at least $8 million in transportation improvements.

The announcement will be live-streamed on KDOT's Facebook page on Thursday at 10:30am.
