A study by a Wichita engineering firm tasked with looking at how to reduce flooding on Buhler Road from the Little Arkansas River pegged the cost at nearly $4.5 million.
That figure includes both raising the roadway by several feet over nearly half a mile in length and rebuilding the river bridge just south of Buhler.
Just raising the road itself would prevent floodwater from a “100-year-storm” overtopping the road, but without replacing the bridge it would also cause floodwaters to back up and potentially impact residences upstream of the bridge, the study by WSP found.
