The Kellogg and Rock Road area, which is one of Wichita’s busiest intersections, will undergo additional construction on Monday, July 23, as Wildcat Construction begins the latest phase of improvements to the east Kellogg Freeway.

The latest Kellogg Freeway improvements will include constructing access roads from Governeour to east of Rock Road. The first phase will focus on the north access road. The second phase will focus on the south access road and the construction of the east half of the Rock Road bridge. The third phase will build the west half of the Rock Road bridge, the Armour Road bridge and the main freeway.

The completed improvements will carry Kellogg Freeway traffic under Rock Road. The improvements are scheduled for completion in spring 2010 at an estimated cost of $ 47.5 million. Graphics are attached to the press release. Following are construction details:

1. The north access road - adjacent to Old Chicago restaurant and Firestone - will be open for westbound Kellogg traffic from Eastern to Governeour.

2. Also, beginning 9 a.m. on Monday, all left turns at the intersection of Kellogg and Armour will be suspended, except for the left turn from eastbound Kellogg toward northbound Armour/Rusty Eck autodealer. Eastbound and westbound traffic through the intersection will not be interrupted.

3. At 7 a.m. on Tuesday, left turns at the intersection of Kellogg & Rock will be suspended for two days. The westbound traffic on Kellogg will be diverted to the newly constructed north access road. Although left turns will not be allowed at the intersection, left turns are allowed through newly installed turnarounds - similar to past construction at Woodlawn. Left turns will be allowed at the turnaround at Eastern and the temporary turnaround between Armour and Rock Road. All businesses in the area will be accessible to motorists.

The 35-mile-per hour speed limit through the construction area will be enforced.
