Drivers who take US-400 on a daily basis say conditions on the road are the worst they’ve seen in years, and the Andover police chief said the department has responded to a jack-knifed semi, slide-offs and other crashes. “We’ve had about 12 cars that have either been an accident or have gone off the road,” said Chief Buck Buchanan…. The highway is maintained by the Kansas Department of Transportation. A spokesman said five trucks are assigned to that area, but those crews have other highways to get to as well. … The city of Andover posted this on social media: “While the highway is technically not our responsibility to maintain, we know our friends at KDOT are spread thin & short on drivers! At the request of @AndoverKSPD, we will focus on the portion of US 54/400 that falls within our city limits to get it in better shape!” Its crews were planning to step in and help get the highway in better shape.
