The highway system • Statewide Quick Facts: – 140,000 mile of public roads, 10,000 state highways – 4 th largest in the nation – 837 miles of city connecting links • Regional Quick Facts: – 3,349 miles of state highway in KDOT District 6 3
District 6 19 counties Population: 151,496 Daily Vehicle Miles Traveled in 2015: 5,041,992 Total Miles Roads/Streets/Highways: 19,828 4
District 6 Major Traffic Concerns • Increased Truck Traffic • Safety Concerns • Economic Development Needs – Rural needs – Agriculture demands – Wind Industry • Incomplete Projects 5

Practical Improvements • A practical improvement – A recognition that needs will always outpace resources – Gives engineers and others the flexibility to use lower-cost alternatives to the full-scale complement of improvements that have been standard. Sometimes includes Narrowing project footprint Identifying less-expensive means 28
Pavement Analysis What are they measuring? 1. Ride 2. Joint Distress or Cracking 3. Faulting or Rutting 29
Pavement Analysis • Level 1-Denotes segments are smooth and exhibit few if any surface defects. Pavement segments in this category do not require corrective action, however it may be appropriate to perform preventative maintenance to prolong this good condition. • Level 2-Denotes segments that appear to require at least routine maintenance to address roughness or to correct moderate surface defects. • Level 3-Denotes segments that appeared to require a rehabilitative action beyond routine maintenance at the time of the survey 30

Types of Projects & Preservation Spending Breakdown • Resurfacing $220m - $250m/year – Typical project scopes include thinner overlays, chip seals and patching of existing roads. Would improve 1200 – 1500 miles/year. Includes interstate and non-interstate routes. • Bridge Replacements $50m - $75m/year – Would replace deteriorated bridges. Number of bridges would vary depending on sizes. • Bridge Repairs $15m - $20m/year – Typical project scope includes deck replacement/repair, structural repair, repainting of existing bridge structures. Number of bridges would vary depending on size and magnitude of repairs needed. • Heavy Preservation $50m - $90m/year – Typical project scopes would include full depth pavement reconstruction/replacement or significant rehab of the existing pavement section. 33
Where we are today $450-$500m in sales tax receipts transferred each fiscal year – the entirety that can be transferred is being transferred More than $500m in delayed projects Month to month lettings “ the agency will make decisions on a month to month basis.” – Wichita Eagle Article 11/14/16 Inability to respond to emerging or urgent infrastructure needs 34

Do we really need to worry about dropping in preservation funds? For each $1 spent during the first 40% of pavement quality will cost $4-$5 if delayed until the pavement loses 80% of it’s original quality. http://www.dennis.polhill.info/archives/category/pavement-management 37
