A massive highway project has the potential to transform much of west Wichita. The Northwest Bypass would extend K-96 from near 45th and Maize Road to Kellogg, just east of Goddard. The question is: Will it ever be built? The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) has been buying property for the project since 2006 but only has acquired a third of the needed right-of-way. The problem so far? It’s pretty obvious. “The biggest thing right now is funding,” said Sedgwick County Commissioner David Dennis, who represents west Wichita and west Sedgwick County.
