What does a curb and gutter have to get right in Lansing?
A curb and gutter passes when the flow line holds a continuous fall to the inlet, the line and grade match the survey, and the joints align with the pavement so it drains and takes the load. In Lansing much of the K-7 curb has simply reached the end of its structural life.
The retail strips along Main Street (K-7) date to the 1980s-2000s and many have hit their 20-to-25-year structural limit, while K-7 carries the county's north-south traffic with heavy braking at the Eisenhower Road interchanges.
Strips at their structural limit
A 20-to-25-year-old strip curb hasn't just worn a surface — the curb-and-gutter has cracked through and the flow line has settled below grade, so a patch won't hold. We rebuild the run from the base and reset the grade, and where K-7 braking hits hardest we build a barrier curb that takes the load, the kind of full rebuild our concrete work is built for.
The Towne Center and the K-7 service strips carry steady institutional and workforce traffic from the correctional facility and Fort Leavenworth, so the rebuilt curb has to stand up to daily volume, not just occasional use.
Settling river terrace, slipform, and winter
Lansing sits on the Missouri River corridor on terrace alluvium with a high water table; per KDHE mapping this is river-corridor ground that settles and stays damp. Under an old strip that settling is what dropped the flow line, so we compact and drain the base before we pour and hold the flow line to a steady fall. We run slipform curb on the long K-7 runs and place air-entrained 4,000-PSI concrete with joints saw-cut to the pavement, against the freeze-thaw the NOAA record shows for the river corridor and the de-icing salt behind it.
We build the same curb and gutter across the county — in Leavenworth, Basehor, and Tonganoxie. Ford rates 4.9 stars across 29 Google reviews for concrete flatwork across the KC metro.
