East Topeka Gets Major Road Upgrade

East Topeka is set for a major transformation with a new I-470 exit approved near 29th and California, funded in part by a $4 million boost from the Kansas Turnpike Authority. Mayor Spencer Duncan called it a “now or never” opportunity to unlock economic growth in an underserved area. The new cloverleaf will slash emergency response times for Fire Station Nine, improve access for westside residents, and connect key destinations like Lake Shawnee. Construction begins next year, with completion targeted by 2028 — a game-changing investment for the city’s future. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
