Project Description

U.S. 50 is a major east-west route in Kansas. KDOT is considering the possibility of expanding U.S. 50 to four lanes from the east city limits of Dodge City (Avenue P) east to the U.S. 283 East Junction. This portion of the highway is a transportation artery for Dodge City and the surrounding areas, primarily used for residential and commercial access.
