I would love to review this article. –TCN7JM 22:18, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
Lead

"rural land between Ellsworth, Kansas and Salina, Kansas." You mentioned in the previous sentence that the highway was in Kansas, so adding the state after either city is redundant.

Route description

There are three instances in the first paragraph in which the citations are not in numeric order.

"Just after passing through Carneiro K-140..." This would read better with a comma.
 Won't fix I would say yes if it were like that, but when you take the sentence as a whole it sounds worse with the comma to my ears. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 00:08, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
"After traveling 1.001 miles (1.611 km) through the city of Brookville..." This seems too precise. Saying it's approximately one mile using {{convert/spell}} will suffice.

Refs. 1 and 2 seem to be a bit over-cited. You do not need a Google Maps citation after every sentence. One at the end of the paragraph is fine.
 Won't fix I cite after each sentence in which a source is used because I do not use the sources universally throughout paragraphs. I use ref 1 for some sentences, ref 2 for some sentences, and both for some sentences. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 23:28, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
"Rural farmland" is redundant.

First sentence in the final paragraph seems like a WP:OVERLINK violation. I don't think either pavement or concrete needs to be linked.
 Fixed. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 23:28, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
The preciseness in the traffic info...just...seems way too technical. Is it necessary for you to have high/lows for every single piece of the highway with measurements down to the hundredth of a mile? It seems like overkill.
 Kinda fixed. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 23:36, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
History

More numerical order errors...

"was established in the 1926..." And we live in the 2013. :p

There's nothing concerning pavement. This road was first designated in 1926, so there probably wasn't yet a standard for paving U.S. Routes.
 Fixed. I added what I could...if there's any more history that could be added it's buried deep in microfilm archives of The Salina Journal. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 00:07, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
Again, you should probably throw Ref. 6 out the window. It's likely a SPS.
 Done, let me know if the new one is acceptable instead. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 00:07, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
Looks good to me. –TCN7JM 00:20, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
Major intersections

No outstanding errors.
References

No problems with dead links, verifiability, or plagiarism, now that the SPS is gone. –TCN7JM 00:20, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
