“Improving connectivity in west Sedgwick County through the Northwest Expressway would benefit families, businesses, and the entire community. With Via Christi St. Teresa as the only full-service hospital in west Wichita, the Expressway would also provide faster, more reliable access to quality care for thousands of people.”

“The Northwest Expressway is an unfulfilled commitment that not only benefits Wichita and Sedgwick County but the entire State of Kansas. The long-term economic viability of this region is dependent upon public investment in this project.”

“For whatever reason, the Wichita area has always been slow to make infrastructure development happen. At LANGE we see the future of whatever projects we can be doing to enhance the communities we serve. We have taken a lead position on the NW Expressway so that we can change that pattern of the past and make this infrastructure project happen versus just being talked about. And then, we will start working on what’s next.”

“The Wichita Area Builders Association (WABA) proudly supports the Northwest Expressway, which will strengthen connections between some of the fastest growing communities in Kansas, improve traffic flow, and open new corridors for commercial and residential development. By creating more efficient transportation routes, this project will not only ease congestion for existing neighborhoods, but also attract new businesses, create jobs, and increase housing opportunities for families in the south central Kansas region.”

“I fully support the Northwest Expressway — a vital connection linking our fastest-growing cities while protecting our rural roads from heavy truck traffic. With millions of taxpayer dollars already invested, it’s time to finish this project and guide growth responsibly as urban development pushes into northwest Sedgwick County. This is the infrastructure our future depends on.”

“The Northwest Expressway is about more than just roads — it’s about unlocking opportunity for the entire western Sedgwick County region. As a small-town mayor and business owner, I see firsthand how vital connectivity is to growth and success. This kind of investment supports our local economy, strengthens our link to regional development, and helps ensure communities like Colwich remain part of the bigger picture for Kansas’ future.”

“The Northwest Expressway will connect two of the fastest growing cities in the state. Completion of the project will have a huge return on investment and economic impact on the region.”
