US-83: reconstruct, add passing lanes from 1 mile south of US-160/K-144 north 5 miles in Haskell County

US-54: construct 4-lane expressway from Liberal northeast 10 miles in Seward County
This project was also rated as a top priority due to high truck traffic. While there was some support for the passing lane approach, the majority of Local Consult participants said they prefer the 4-lane option even though that means fewer miles of improvement.
