Wichita street projects for 2020 total $215M, mayor says

The city of Wichita has 16 street and bridge projects — either underway or planned — for the coming year that total more than $215 million.

Wichita Mayor Brandon Whipple highlighted some of the projects during his first briefing for media.

He showed slides of the Kellogg and Webb bridge with new aesthetic lighting. The LED lights will include different colors for each season, he said, as well as designs for holidays such as an American flag for Memorial Day. The same lighting will be installed for the Greenwich bridge, he said.
