# List of state highway spurs in Kansas

The Kansas state highway system includes and has included many state highway spurs that connect through highways with places that are not along a through highway. The Kansas Department of Transportation and its predecessor agencies have established most of these highways to serve small cities. In most cases, the spur highway connecting a through route with a city ends at the city limit of the city. The spur highways also serve unincorporated villages, state institutions like psychiatric hospitals, state parks and other Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism–administered facilities, and historic sites.

The highway began at Railroad Avenue just north of the Union Pacific Railroad. K-76 headed north along Oak Street to a four-way intersection with US-24 and US-59. From that intersection, US-24 headed west toward Perry, US-59 headed north toward Oskaloosa, and the two U.S. Highways headed southeast concurrently toward Lawrence. K-76 has existed since before 1951, when the Kansas State Highway Department approved a relocation of US-24 on the north side of Williamstown through a May 23, 1951, resolution. This project moved the US-24–US-59–K-76 intersection south, and US-59 took over the northern part of K-76's course. The Kansas Department of Transportation removed K-76 from the state highway system through a January 3, 2014, resolution.

However, by 1932, that highway followed US-24's present course, and a spur route may have been in place south to Morland. K-85 was assigned to the Morland spur by January 1938 at the latest.

## K-86

K-86 was a 0.235-mile-long (0.378 km) spur route of U.S. Route 56 (US-56) that served Canton. At the city limits, it became Main Street in Canton.

It continues north to the McPherson State Fishing Lake/Maxwell Game Preserve, Roxbury and Gypsum, ending at K-4. It continues to the south to Hesston, Sedgwick and west Wichita, ending at Wichita Mid-Continent Airport.

### History

K-86 was commissioned by 1938. It first appeared on the January 1938 state highway map. K-86 was decommissioned on September 9, 2009, due to the city of Canton annexing land around the highway. In the same highway resolution, K-175 was removed and K-14 was rerouted along K-61 from Arlington to Hutchinson then along K-96 to the former end of the K-14 / K-96 overlap. Also in the same resolution K-61 was slightly realigned southwest of McPherson, realigned around Inman and slightly realigned north-northeast of Hutchinson.

The road continues south as Main Street, which contains a variety of historic sites, including its post office, museum and former railroad station, a pair of historic homes, and the Bernhard Warkentin Homestead, which is a National Historic Landmark. K-89 heads north by Riverside Park—the site of the Old Settlers Picnic and of filming for the 1955 movie Picnic—along Hertzler Memorial Highway, which honors "Horse and Buggy Doctor" Arthur E. Hertzler. The highway passes through an S-curve to veer east onto a section line road, which the highway follows to its end at US-50 between Burrton and Newton. The roadway that was to become K-89 was originally planned as K-59. The Kansas State Highway Commission approved a purchase order for right of way to construct K-89 on September 13, 1932. The highway was built in the second half of 1934 as an improved dirt road that was partially funded by national recovery grants. However, before the state had paved the highway, the commission decided to eliminate several sharp curves in the highway's planned course and return the unused land to the former property owners in a November 15, 1935, resolution. K-89 was paved on its present course by 1936.

## K-114

K-114 is a 0.9-mile-long (1.4 km) spur route that serves the city of Ogden in southwestern Riley County. The highway begins at the east city limit of Ogden; the road continues southwest as Riley Street. The highway curves southeast as a four-lane divided highway, crosses a Union Pacific rail line, and reaches its eastern terminus at a partial cloverleaf interchange with K-18, a four-lane freeway that heads northeast toward Manhattan and southwest toward I-70 and Junction City. K-114 was proposed as part of a May 9, 1973, Kansas State Highway Commission resolution to remove K-18 from its course through Fort Riley in favor of a route around the military base between Ogden and Junction City to separate military traffic and regular highway traffic. K-18 would be placed on its present corridor from just east of Ogden south to I-70, and the piece of K-18 between the city of Ogden and the new portion of K-18 would become K-114. The junction of K-18 and K-114 would be a partial interchange featuring a flyover ramp for westbound K-18 and no access from K-114 to westbound K-18 or from eastbound K-18 to K-114. K-114 was established when construction on the K-18 link between Ogden and I-70 was completed between 1975 and 1977. Between 2010 and 2013, K-18 and K-114 were relocated and their present interchange was constructed.

## K-114 (1950–1966)

K-114 headed north to the south city limit of Everest, from which the road continued north as Fifth Street. The Kansas State Highway Commission accepted K-114 into the state highway system through a July 12, 1950, resolution. The commission authorized relocations of US-73 and K-20 in and around Everest through an August 12, 1964, resolution. The eastern end of K-20's concurrency with US-73 had been southeast of Everest. The state-numbered highway would be relocated to pass through Everest, assume the course of K-114, and reach its new US-73 junction at what was K-114's southern terminus. K-114 was replaced by K-20 when the relocations were completed in 1966.

The Kansas State Highway Commission proposed a state highway connection between US-77 and Rock Springs 4-H Camp in a May 24, 1950, resolution, and the commission confirmed their decision in a November 14, 1950, resolution. The highway used the north–south segment of modern K-157, but instead of heading east toward modern US-77 north of the camp, the highway headed west to the contemporary course of US-77. The Kansas State Highway Commission approved a relocation of US-77 between Herington and Junction City in a January 6, 1960, resolution. The resolution included designation of a new course for K-157 from north of the 4-H facility to connect with the new course of US-77 and to remove the connection to old US-77.

## K-238

K-238 is a 1.433-mile-long (2.306 km) spur route in Elwood in east central Doniphan County. The highway serves Rosecrans Memorial Airport, the joint civilian–military airport for St. Joseph, Missouri, which lies on the opposite side of the Missouri River from Elwood. The airport lies west of the river but is in the state of Missouri; the Kansas–Missouri border follows a chain of oxbow lakes. Traffic from St. Joseph must pass through Kansas and use K-238 to reach the city's airport. K-238 begins at a diamond interchange with US-36 in the city of Elwood between St. Joseph and Wathena. The highway heads north through an S-curve and intersects Roseport Road. K-238 continues north along the west city limit to its end at the Browning Bridge, which crosses the eponymous oxbow lake into Missouri at the south end of the airport. The Missouri River and the state line followed the same meander path prior to the Missouri River basin floods of 1952, before which St. Joseph was connected to its airport on land via Missouri Supplemental Route OO. The 1952 floods created a meander cutoff east of the airport, cutting St. Joseph off from its airport. By 1955, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers constructed a permanent cutoff channel east of the one caused by the floods. To improve access to the airport, the Kansas State Highway Commission approved the designation and construction of K-238 from US-36, which then followed Roseport Road, north to the Browning Bridge at the state line in a July 12, 1961, resolution. The highway was constructed and marked as K-238 in 1962. US-36 was authorized to be moved to its present freeway in a July 31, 1980, resolution. The resolution also extended K-238 east from its southern terminus along old US-36 through Elwood to its partial cloverleaf interchange with the freeway just west of the U.S. Highway's bridge to St. Joseph. K-238 was authorized to be placed on its present course and removed from Roseport Road through a March 25, 1993, resolution. The diamond interchange at K-238's southern terminus was completed between 1995 and 1997.

K-247 heads north to its end at a diamond interchange with I-70 and US-40, which run concurrently east–west, between WaKeeney and Hays. The Kansas State Highway Commission authorized the construction of I-70, the relocation of US-40 onto I-70, and the removal of old US-40 from the state highway system between Ogallah to the west in Trego County and Hays in an August 14, 1963, resolution. That resolution included a connector with the proposed designation of K-247 between I-70 and Ellis to retain state access to the city that would be removed with the removal of the old route of US-40 from the state highway system. I-70 was completed between Ogallah and Hays and Ogallah and K-247 was applied to I-70's connector to Ellis in 1964.

## K-248

K-248 intersects a Kyle Railroad–operated rail line in the center of town. The highway follows Main Street to its northern terminus at US-36 at the north city limits of Kensington. US-36 heads west toward Agra and east toward Athol. The Kansas State Highway Commission approved a relocation of US-36 from east of Agra in far eastern Phillips County to Kensington through a March 7, 1962, resolution. All of the bypassed routing of US-36, which included the present route of K-248 through Kensington, was planned to be returned to local control. However, on October 24, 1962, the commission passed a resolution retaining the portion of old US-36 north of 180 Road. K-248 was assigned to its course after the US-36 relocation was completed in 1962.

The Kansas State Highway Commission authorized the relocation of K-10 onto its freeway between De Soto and K-7 and the removal of old K-10 from the state highway system in a June 15, 1972, resolution. The 0.607-mile-long (0.977 km) portion of old K-10 from the freeway to the south city limit of De Soto would be retained and designated K-285. K-285 replaced the piece of K-10 north of the freeway when the K-10 freeway was completed between 1975 and 1977. In 1977, the city of De Soto expanded its limits southward; thus, the Kansas Department of Transportation removed the 0.389-mile-long (0.626 km) portion of K-285 between the old and new south city limit from the state highway system in a January 26, 1977, resolution. The resolution also stated any further annexation of the land under K-285 would automatically result in the relevant length of road being transferred to local control. The city of De Soto activated this provision of the resolution, thus removing K-285 from the state highway system, when the city annexed the remainder of the land under K-285 between 1997 and 1999.

## K-368

K-368 is a 1.000-mile-long (1.609 km) spur route that serves Pomona State Park near Vassar in east central Osage County. The highway begins at K-268 between Lyndon and Quenemo. K-368 heads north and intersects the Flint Hills Nature Trail, a rail trail along a former Missouri Pacific Railroad line, before reaching its north end at the entrance to Pomona State Park. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began to construct Pomona Dam and its associated reservoir in the early 1960s. The federal agency agreed to relocate several county highways that would be displaced by the reservoir, and the Kansas State Highway Commission requested a pair of those highways–an east–west highway between US-75 and K-68 and an access road to the recreational land around the reservoir—be constructed to state highway standards. The commission designated those highways K-268 and K-368, respectively, in a November 14, 1962, resolution. K-268 and K-368 were constructed and added to the state highway system and Pomona Reservoir was completed between 1963 and 1965.
