Kansas Turnpike Authority 2011 Annual Report on the Cover
Kansas Turnpike Authority 2011 Annual Report On the cover This word cloud was made on Tagul.com with words from the KTA chief engineer’s letter in the annual inspection re- port. The larger the word, the more frequently it was used in the copy of the report. Word clouds are used to visually convey the importance of specific thoughts or topics in a block of text or document. Tim Schmidt A message from Turnpike leadership During the past 20 years, the Kansas Turnpike Authority has invested more than $400 million in improvements. From service area recon- struction to roadway widening to the most recent bridge replacement, the past two decades have been busy — and 2011 was no exception. This past year, the KTA completed its largest project since the origi- nal construction of the roadway more than 50 years ago. The Kansas River Bridges Replacement and Plaza Improvement Project was com- pleted on time and within budget. Also completed was the project to replace the last original section of 1950s roadway along I-70/Turnpike. As we move into 2012, the focus shifts from major improvements to system preservation. As with all infrastructure, there will be a need for sustained investment to continue to provide the high quality roadway Turnpike customers expect. Sincerely, Mary E. Turkington Michael L. Johnston Board Chairman President/CEO Above: KTA President/CEO Michael L. Johnston, left, with Authority Board mem- bers then-KDOT Secretary Deb Miller; Paul V. Dugan, Sr.; Mary E.
