Kansas Turnpike

The Kansas Turnpike is a tolled freeway that lies entirely within the U.S. state of Kansas. It runs in a general southwest-northeast direction from the Oklahoma border south of Wichita via Wichita, Topeka, and Lawrence to Kansas City, Kansas.

History

Early history

Early federal plans for a nationwide system of "Interregional Highways" did not include a route along or near the present Turnpike, instead connecting Oklahoma City and Kansas City via southeastern Kansas and U.S. Route 69.[2] By the mid-1940s, this route had shifted to roughly the present Interstate 35 alignment, serving Wichita. The only major difference from the present route was between Wichita and Emporia, where it ran north to Newton before turning northeast along U.S. Route 50.[3] Nickname: Capital of the New Century Official website: http://www. ...

However, the Interstate Highway system was not funded until the passage of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956. Prior to this, the state of Kansas wished to build a freeway system but was having issues with funding. Thus, they turned to toll roads, which were gaining in popularity as ways of raising funds for new freeways.[4] The Kansas Turnpike Act, defining a turnpike from Oklahoma to Kansas City, became effective April 7, 1953. The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, popularly known as the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act, was enacted on June 29, 1956, when a hospitalized Dwight D. Eisenhower signed this bill into law. ... This article or section does not cite any references or sources. ... April 7 is the 97th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (98th in leap years). ...

Given Oklahoma's plans to build a turnpike north from Oklahoma City to the Kansas state line, a preliminary route was chosen via Wichita and Topeka. After considering a number of different alignments, including one bypassing Topeka via the present route of I-35, the state decided on an "airline" route between Wichita and Topeka. From Wichita south, the turnpike was to parallel U.S. Route 81, continuing into Oklahoma; the interchange with U.S. Route 166 at South Haven was included to provide an outlet if Oklahoma lagged in its construction. At the Kansas City end, the turnpike was to parallel U.S. Route 40 from Topeka. The Kansas City end was set at 18th Street and Muncie Boulevard, which was to be extended and upgraded to a freeway (the Muncie Expressway) to the Intercity Viaduct by the state. From Park Drive (exit 419) east to 18th Street (exit 420), the turnpike was built on top of Muncie Boulevard.

Ground was broken on December 31, 1954 at the Kansas River bridge near Lawrence. After almost 22 months of construction, funded by private investors, the road was opened for a day of free travel on October 20, 1956 between 6 a.m. and 2pm.[5] An estimated 12,000 to 15,000 cars travelled on the turnpike. Many of those motorists travelled to Lawrence for a football game between Kansas and Oklahoma Universities.[6] Official opening ceremonies were held at interchanges in each of the three major cities on October 25. The Kansas City celebration included Gene Autry jumping his horse through a large paper map of the Turnpike. John Masefield, the British Poet Laureate, wrote a tribute to commemorate the occasion.[4] On the first day after the official opening, 7,197 vehicles traveled the turnpike, with 81 toll collectors and 50 maintenance workers on duty.[7] The turnpike originally had 14 interchanges; as of 2006, there are 27 interchanges.

The southern terminus

Oklahoma's plans for a connecting turnpike fell through, as they had not done a traffic study and their credit rating was not good enough to obtain loans.[4] Therefore the Kansas Turnpike ended at the state line, at an at-grade intersection with E0010 Road.[8][9] Just across the state line was an oat field, into which many inattentive motorists crashed. This abrupt end became nationally famous after Wyoming governor Milward L. Simpson and his wife crashed in mid-1957. Despite the oat farmer plowing the field to provide a safer landing, the junction was still unsafe. The KTA was persuaded to install a huge wooden barrier at the end of the highway. Within a day, three more drivers had crashed and destroyed the barrier, so the KTA closed the Turnpike south of the South Haven interchange.[4] A credit rating assesses the credit worthiness of an individual, corporation, or even a country. ...

Though Oklahoma's plans to construct a toll road from the southern end of the Kansas Turnpike at the state line to Oklahoma City did not materialize, the surveyed route was turned over to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation to be developed as a free expressway following the passage of the Interstate Highway Act in 1956 and later designated as Interstate 35.


Extensions studied

While the initial Turnpike was still being built, the KTA authorized four feasibility studies in October 1954. Three of them - a spur to Leavenworth and St. Joseph, Missouri, a spur from Wichita to Hutchinson, Great Bend and Hays, and a new Intercity Viaduct to Kansas City, Missouri - did not go anywhere. But the fourth proposal, a toll bridge on 18th Street in Kansas City, was pushed through, and the KTA agreed to build it in early 1956. The 18th Street Expressway, running south from the Turnpike's east end over the Kansas River, opened in 1959, improving access to northeast Johnson County.[4] A feasibility study is a preliminary study undertaken to determine and document a projects viability. ...

As part of the Interstate system

In June 1956 the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 was signed into law, granting funding to the nationwide Interstate Highway System. Without its Oklahoma link, the Kansas Turnpike was in danger of being bypassed by the Interstate System entirely. However, at the end of 1956, the Bureau of Public Roads and the state of Kansas agreed to route I-35 along the Turnpike south of Emporia and I-70 along the piece east of Topeka. The state insisted on a separate Emporia-Kansas City alignment, and the mileage that would have been used to build I-35 from Wichita to Emporia via Newton was instead used for Interstate 35W (now Interstate 135) from Wichita via Newton to Salina.[4] The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, popularly known as the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act, was enacted on June 29, 1956, when a hospitalized Dwight D.

As of July 1, 2007, the passenger or passengers of two-axle vehicles (such as cars and motorcycles) pay a total of US$9.25 to travel the entire length of the Turnpike. Tolls are calculated based on the length of the route traveled, and the toll is as little as 25¢ for motorists driving only a short distance (3 mi or 5 km, for example) on the Turnpike.[11] Drivers in vehicles with more than two axles, such as truckers, pay higher tolls.

The Turnpike runs on a ticket-based collection system. When entering the turnpike, either at one of the termini or at an interchange, a driver is issued a ticket which indicates the toll plaza at which they entered. When leaving the turnpike, this ticket is collected and used to determine the amount of the toll.[12] As an alternative to using tickets, motorists can purchase a transponder, known as a K-Tag. K-Tag customers can proceed slowly through the toll plaza without stopping and collecting a ticket or paying toll. The toll is instead charged to an account, which can be automatically paid for via credit card.[13] K-Tag was introduced on October 25, 1995.[14] Look up credit card in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... is the 298th day of the year (299th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

The Kansas Turnpike is completely self-sustaining. All costs are paid for by the tolls collected; no tax money is used for construction, maintenance, or administration. KTA estimates that 120,000 drivers use the turnpike each day.[15]

The Kansas Turnpike is 236 miles (380 km) long.[1] The first 127 miles (204 km) of the highway, between its southern terminus four miles (6 km) north of the Oklahoma border and Emporia, Kansas, are designated as Interstate 35. The turnpike runs due north and south between its southern terminus and Wichita. After passing Wichita, the highway turns northeast toward El Dorado and Emporia. After passing through El Dorado, it crosses El Dorado Lake. This marks the turnpike's entry into the Flint Hills, a band of hills in eastern Kansas. The turnpike does not leave this region completely until it reaches Topeka. Image File history File links Kansas_Turnpike_map. ...

From Emporia to Topeka, the turnpike is signed as Interstate 335. This highway exists entirely as a part of the Kansas Turnpike. In fact, until 1987, this stretch of the Turnpike was designated solely as the Kansas Turnpike without an Interstate number. It was only after a change in the National Maximum Speed Law, when state legislators were given the authority to raise the speed limits on rural Interstate Highways to 65 mph, that this segment of the Kansas Turnpike was given the I-335 designation so that it could fall under the new law.[16] I-335 has only one interchange (with U.S. Route 56) along its section of the turnpike other than the two end junctions.

Because the Kansas Turnpike was built before the Interstate Highway System, it is not engineered to current Interstate Highway standards. Notably, the Turnpike was built without an 11 meter median. When it opened, the central reservation was a 20 ft (6 m) depressed median.[7] Starting in 1985,[17] Jersey barriers were installed along its entire length.[14] This is similar to what the Pennsylvania Turnpike did in the 1970s, as that highway has an even narrower median. In both cases, as with all other toll roads that predated the Interstate Highway System, the highway is grandfathered from Interstate standards.

Kansas Turnpike mileposts are continuous along the entire length of the turnpike. Mile markers begin at the point where I-35 enters Kansas at the southern border. These numbers are continued along the other three interstates that make up the turnpike, rather than numbering each interstate individually, leading to discontinuous numbering on I-70 - the exit numbers east of Topeka are much lower than those west of the city. A milestone A milestone is one of a series of numbered markers placed along a road at regular intervals, typically at the side of the road or in a median. ...


The majority of the turnpike, from the Oklahoma state line to Topeka, was constructed with 4 in. (10.16 cm) asphalt. The 55 mi. (88.51 km) from Topeka to Kansas City was built with portland cement concrete.[14] Curves along the turnpike are limited to 3° and grades limited to 3%.[14] When built, it was designed to allow 18,000 lb. (8,165 kg) axle loads.[14] Minimum sight distances were kept at 725 ft. (221 m).[14] Asphalt As shown in this cross-section, many older roadways are smoothed by applying a thin layer of asphalt concrete to the existing portland cement concrete. ... Sampling fast set Portland cement Portland cement is the most common type of cement in general usage, as it is a basic ingredient of concrete, mortar and plaster. ...

Like many Interstates, the entire length of the turnpike has a 70 mph (110 km/h) maximum speed limit. The minimum speed is 40 mph (60 km/h).[18] Originally, the Turnpike had a "reasonable and proper" speed rule (i.e., no numerical speed limit); with early reports saying that curves were designed to accommodate speeds of 70 to 75 mph.[4] However, a speed limit was soon fixed at 80 mph (130 km/h).[19] Eventually, the speed limit was lowered. The 80 mph speed limit would not be enforced anywhere in the United States again until 2006, when Texas posted the 80 mph speed limit on Interstates 10 and 20 in the western part of that state.

It replaced the old Eastern Toll Plaza at mile marker 224 in October 2000 for the construction of Kansas Speedway.[51][52] All travel east of the toll plaza is free. Kansas Speedway is a speedway in Kansas City, in the U.S. state of Kansas. ...


Exit 224,[53][54][55] old Exit 223[28][56][57] (Bonner Springs)[58] is a trumpet connection to K-7. In addition to heading south to Bonner Springs, K-7 runs north, mostly with U.S. Route 73, to Leavenworth. The interchange opened in 1956 with the Turnpike,[25] and had a toll plaza on the trumpet connector until the present barrier toll was built in 2000.[34][52][51] The Eastern Terminal toll plaza was located just east of exit 223[58] until 2000.[52][51] However, in the mid 1990s the KTA stopped charging a toll for traffic driving between the Eastern Terminal and the Bonner Springs exit. A special lane was added for westbound I-70 traffic to exit to K-7, bypassing the toll plaza. The traffic entering I-70 was directed by a sign to stop for a ticket if westbound, but proceed through if eastbound. Prior to this change, drivers going between the Eastern Terminal and the K-7 interchange (less than a quarter mile) were required to get a ticket and pay a toll. Construction of the Kansas Speedway increased traffic and caused large lines to back up on both freeways. This resulted in the cessation of toll charges and eventually the relocation of the Eastern Terminal altogether.[52] There is still a virtual KTAG toll plaza on this ramp that is just a sign bridge with KTAG readers. KTAG customers entering or exiting at this interchange can still get a discounted toll, as if the East Terminal was still at the old location. This was done to prevent a toll increase for Bonner Springs customers.[52] Bonner Springs is a river city located mostly in Wyandotte and Johnson counties (although the vast majority of the population lives in Wynadotte County) in Kansas and is part of the Unified Government which contains Kansas City, Kansas, Bonner Springs, Kansas and Edwardsville, Kansas. ...

Kansas Turnpike - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (4041 words)
The Kansas City end was set at 18th Street and Muncie Boulevard, which was to be extended and upgraded to a freeway (the Muncie Expressway) to the Intercity Viaduct by the state.
Kansas Turnpike mileposts, which are also used to number exits, are continuous along the entire length of the turnpike.
When the Turnpike first opened, the US 160 interchange was a reversed diamond with four loop ramps, so that all traffic using the interchange had to pass under the bridge and thus through the toll plaza.
