(KNZA)--Several area cities will receive funding under two Kansas Department of Transportation programs.

KDOT has announced that projects that will improve intersections and address road deficiencies in 11 Kansas cities will receive fiscal year 2016 funding under the agency’s  Geometric Improvement program.  Among the cities is Marysville, which will receive $750,000.

In addition, 30 resurfacing projects will be funded under KDOT’s City Connecting Links (KLINK) program that improves state highways that extend through cities.  Among them are Atchison, Horton and Leavenworth.

The state will provide more than $6.2 million for the Geometric Improvement projects, which will be built at an estimated cost of $7.7 million. The cities will provide matching funds to cover the remainder of the costs. The percent of state funding is based on the size of the city and ranges from 75 percent for the largest cities to 100 percent for the smallest.

KDOT received 40 applications requesting $27.7 million under the popular program. Roads selected for Geometric Improvement funding are part of the state highway system but are located within city limits.

Under the KLINK program, KDOT will provide $5.6 million for projects estimated to cost $11.7 million for fiscal year 2015. The program provides either 50 percent or 75 percent (not to exceed $200,000) of the project cost, based on population.

Both the Geometric Improvement Program and KLINK Resurfacing Program are funded under the T-WORKS transportation program, which was passed by the 2010 Legislature.
