The city says as the weather warms, it plans to ramp up infrastructure work for the year, with a busy summer expected in 2026. A map shared by the city shows areas planned for sidewalk and paving upgrades, with some work to be completed by city crews and some by contractors.
The city says the combined projects represent more than $4 million in transportation improvements and upgrades within Atchison, with more than 40 percent of the cost covered by state grants.
Residents living or traveling in the impacted areas should expect some disruption during construction. The city asks the public to follow all safety signs and other placards posted with each project, and to drive carefully in work zones.
The city also notes the map does not include highway and bridge projects where the city partners directly with KDOT, which will be announced as KDOT approves them. The map also does not include the city’s annual brick or concrete street repairs.
