1. How is McPherson benefiting from the new Mohawk interchange (Exit 63)?

The Mohawk interchange provides better access to industries located on the north side of McPherson. It also reduces truck traffic along Kansas Avenue.

2. Can street lights and a stop sign be installed at the corner of Mohawk and Centennial Road?

The intersection of Mohawk and Centennial Road is under County jurisdiction; thus, signage and lighting concerns need to be addressed by the County Commission.

3. Can a sign be posted at the Mohawk exchange (Exit 63) to encourage trucks to use this exit instead of the Highway 56 exchange (Exit 60)?

The City can designate a truck route. However, both are public routes and trucks cannot be prohibited.

4. Who is responsible for maintaining Highway 56?

With the completion of the KDOT project along US 56, the City of McPherson will take over maintenance of US 56 from I-135 to the Hwy 81 bypass.

5. What standards did KDOT have to meet to reconstruct Highway 56?

KDOT has its own standards for road and bridge construction.  Many cities, including the City of McPherson, often follow these standards.
