History
In November, 1980, AASHTO passed a resolution redesignating what was US 50A as mainline US 50, with the existing US 50 designated as a US 50B. A resolution confirming the re-designation was issued by KDOT in April, 1981.
As part of getting a new US 400 bypass built on the southwest side of Dodge City, the city agreed to take full maintenance of Wyatt Earp Boulevard. This was approved via a highway resoulution in April, 2008, effective upon the completion of the new US 400. The new bypass was completed in October of 2009.
