(KNZA)--The Kansas Department of Transportation will host an open house to provide information on the U.S. 75 Expansion Study in Jackson and Brown counties.

The public is invited to attend the meeting on Thursday, Nov. 6, from 5 to 7 p.m., at Jackson Heights High School, 12719 266th Road, north of Holton.

KDOT says attendees will be able to learn about the study, review potential expansion options and interim improvements, provide input and speak with project staff. There will be no formal presentation; attendees may come and go at any time during the event.

The U.S. 75 Expansion Study will explore options to improve operations on U.S. 75 from Holton to K-20 in Brown County. The study will evaluate the possible expansion to four lanes, as well as other interim improvements to the existing two-lane roadway.

Information presented at the open house will be available on the project website: ksdot.gov/us75-jackson-expansion. Public comments can also be submitted online until Nov. 20.

This study is currently in the discovery phase and has not been funded for construction. There is no known timeline for when the expansion project will take place.
