K-156 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Kansas. It begins in Garden City and travels east/northeast to Ellsworth County. It was originally an intrastate U.S. Highway that existed from 1957 to 1982.[2]
Route description
The route begins in Garden City, on Kansas Avenue at the junction with US-50 Business and US-83 Business (Main Street). It then follows Kansas Ave. eastbound out of town, where it meets K-23 for a three-mile (4.8 km) concurrency west of Kalvesta. After crossing US-283 in Jetmore, and US-183 east of Rozel, K-156 becomes concurrent with its implied parent, US-56, in Larned, at the intersection of 14th and Broadway Streets. Together, US-56 and K-156 head northeast toward Great Bend, where K-96 joins the concurrency. After the three highways cross US-281, they leave Great Bend and K-156 splits from US-56 and K-96, heading northeast from there. After an interchange with K-4 east of Claflin, K-156 meets K-14 south of Ellsworth. At that junction, K-156 begins carrying a concurrency with K-14 Truck route. Inside Ellsworth, K-14 Truck splits from K-156 at the junction with K-140. K-156 ends at exit 225 of I-70 and US-40, in northeast Ellsworth County.
History
From 1957 to 1982, the route existed as U.S. Route 156, a spur highway of U.S. Route 56 that ran from Garden City to Great Bend. US-156 had originally been planned as U.S. Route 155.[3] Until 1965, the section of the highway from Great Bend to Ellsworth County was designated K-45.[4] The entirety of US-156, from Garden City to Ellsworth County, was decommissioned in 1982 and turned over to the state.[2]
