The Center Street and Main Street Intersection project will provide additional turn lanes and signal modifications at this intersection in the heart of Gardner. The project’s primary purpose is to improve safety and relieve congestion. Dedicated left-turn lanes will be added on both approaches to the intersection on Main Street. Traffic will be maintained throughout construction as well as access to all adjacent properties.
Construction of this project is funded by the Kansas Department of Transportation. The City of Gardner is responsible for funding the engineering design, right-of-way acquisition, utility relocation, and construction observation.
Construction is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2013 and should be completed by the fall of 2013.
