context_page_description: K-292 was a 0.750-mile-long state highway in the U.S. state of Kansas. K-292's western terminus was at K-92 northeast of the unincorporated community of Springdale and the eastern terminus was at K-92 northeast of Springdale.
  K-292 was established in 1945 as a state highway, to serve the former covered bridge that crossed Stranger Creek, which was an old alignment of K-92. After the bridge, built in 1858, burned down in 1958, K-292 was removed from the highway system in 1960.
context_section_description: K-292 was established on December 12, 1945 as a state highway. Its purpose was to serve the old covered bridge that crossed Stranger Creek, which was an old alignment of K-92. After the bridge burned down, K-92 was removed from the highway system in a June 22, 1960 resolution. 
  In 1858, General Albert Sydney Johnston, commander at Fort Leavenworth, had four covered bridges constructed across Stranger Creek. The bridges cost about $1500 each and were constructed at Easton, Farmington, Jarbalo and Springdale. The other three were removed in the 1930s. It was later abandoned for a few years before the State Highway Commission starting a restoration project in 1946, including a new roof and siding. Then on September 21, 1958, the bridge was struck by lightning and burned down.
