K-208

Length: 0.201 miles

Historic South Endpoint: Junction K-4 southeast of Valley Falls

Historic North Endpoint: Junction K-16, Valley Falls

Historic County Served: Jefferson

History

K-208 was established in a July 12, 1961 Highway Commission resolution. As part of the relocation of K-4 between Meriden and Valley Falls, the State Highway Commission determined there was a need to provide a connection between K-4 and K-16, as the planned junction between the two roadways was at an acute angle that otherwise proscribed movement from northbound K-4 into Valley Falls and vice versa. The number was assigned in sequence. The construction of Perry Lake necessitated the relocation of K-4 and K-16 east of Valley Falls. As a result, the junction between K-4 and K-16 in Valley Falls was re-aligned so that the roadways intersected at a right angle, and K-208 was deemed no longer necessary. In a April 21, 1967 Highway Commission resolution, K-208, along with the bypassed segments of K-4 and K-16 in Valley Falls, was withdrawn from the state highway system.

K-13 west of Garrison [1957-1959]
K-13 near Tuttle Creek Dam [1959-1964]

North Endpoint: US 77 South of Randolph

History

K-213 had two distinct alignments during its short lifespan. The first was designated in a January 14, 1957 highway commission resolution along a existing roadway between K-13 southwest of Garrison and US 77 near Randolph, along the west bank of the Big Blue River. The number was derived from K-13.

In 1959, construction began on the Tuttle Creek Reservoir, which resulted in the town of Garrison and the relocation of the highways. The new alignment of K-213 began at the west end of the new Tuttle Creek Dam, then looped around the west side of the new reservoir to US 77.

K-213, along with K-13 south of Tuttle Creek Dam, was re-designated K-177 in 1964. In 1965, the route was again re-designated as portions of US 24 and US 77. US 24 and US 77 were relocated as part of an expansion of Fort Riley.

Length: 0.488 miles

West Endpoint: East City Limits of Goessel

K-215 was established in a September 14, 1951 Highway Commission resolution from K-15 west 1 mile through the then-unincorporated community of Goessel. The number was derived from K-15. The entire route was brought in as a blacktop road. In 1952, Goessel became an incorporated city, and the spur was truncated to the then-east city limits in a May 28, 1952 resolution.

The city has since annexed to the east; however, the length of K-215 is approximately the same length as defined in the 1952 resolution. KDOT attempted to turn back K-215 in 2013 by offering Marion County a cash consideration, but the county declined the offer.

South Endpoint: Junction K-19 south of Seward

North Endpoint: South City Limits of Seward

History

In 1946, the State Highway Commission relocated K-19 1 mile to the south, bypassing the towns of Radium and Seward. In a March 9, 1949 Highway Commission resolution, the Commission agreed to build and maintain a spur to Seward if Stafford County agreed to acquire the right of way. In October of 1950, the county certified that they had acquired the ROW, and K-219 was officially established in a November 14, 1950 Highway Commission resolution. The number was derived from K-19

K-219 was removed from the state highway system in a May 1, 2013 KDOT resolution and turned back to Stafford County for unknown consideration.
