US 50 to see passing lane expansion in Harvey and Marion counties

Posted Jul 09, 2021 4:41 PM

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Motorists who use U.S. 50 between Hutchinson and Emporia will see some improvements as part of a $776 million road plan announced by KDOT over the past several days.

U.S. 50 will get extended passing lanes northeast of Walton in Harvey and Marion counties, just west of Peabody, and another stretch five miles east of Burrton. Other similar projects are also planed for the highway in Ford and Edwards counties in western Kansas.

The improvements are still a ways off as most of the work won't be for bid until 2023.
