| QUESTION 1 |
How do I get permission
to construct a private or commercial driveway to my property from a state
highway? |

| Answer: |
Contact the local KDOT Area office
in which the proposed driveway will be located. The KDOT Area Engineer
or Area Superintendent will assist you by providing you with the Highway
Permit (DOT Form No. 309) and necessary additional information to secure
a Highway Permit to work on Highway Right-of-Way. You will be asked to
provide a detailed site plan, showing the details and dimensions of the
proposed construction. The review and approval process by KDOT normally
takes 2-4 weeks. |

Anyone who proposes to work on highway Right-of-Way. This
work would include replacement, relocation, removal or resurfacing of
an existing access connection. |

| QUESTION 3 |
Who is responsible
to provide the driveway culvert and pay for all materials and costs to
construct a private or commercial driveway? |

| QUESTION 4 |
Can I use Concrete
or Asphalt to surface my driveway and how thick does the Concrete or Asphalt
have to be? |

| Answer: |
The KDOT District or Area office will determine whether asphalt

surface thickness depending upon the type and number of vehicles projected
to use the driveway. |
