K-190 is a 24.172-mile-long (38.901 km) east–west state highway in the U.S. state of Kansas. K-190's western terminus is at U.S. Route 160 (US-160) east of the community of Hickok, and the eastern terminus is at US-83 and US-160 south of the city of Sublette. K-190 travels mostly through flat rural farmland, however it does run through the city of Satanta where it is co-designated as US-56. K-190 was first designated as a state highway on December 22, 1954.

Route description

K-190 begins at an intersection with US-160 east of Hickok. It begins traveling southward through flat rural farmlands then after roughly 4.45 miles (7.16 km) crosses the Cimarron Valley Railroad (CVRR) in Ryus. It continues approximately 0.5 miles (0.80 km) then curves to the east. The highway continues roughly .8 miles (1.3 km) then curves southeast and begins to parallel the CVRR. It continues about .2 miles (0.32 km) then crosses into Haskell County.[5] It continues approximately 5.9 miles (9.5 km) then curves south, away from the railroad, at County Road Ff. It continues roughly .2 miles (0.32 km), crosses the CVRR, then intersects US-56 at the Satanta city limits.

Here, K-190 turns northeast and begins to overlap US-56. The two routes continue through Satanta as Nez Perce Street for about 1.08 miles (1.74 km) then reaches the east city limit.[6] At this point K-190 turns south, as US-56 continues northeast. K-190 continues south through flat rural farmlands for roughly 3.7 miles (6.0 km) then curves southeast and enters into Seward County.[7] As the highway enters the county it curves south and continues for roughly .9 miles (1.4 km) then curves east at County Road F. K-190 continues east through flat rural farmlands for roughly 5.9 miles (9.5 km) then reaches its eastern terminus at US-83 and US-160.[8]

The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) tracks the traffic levels on its highways, and in 2017, they determined that on average the traffic varied from 200 vehicles per day near the eastern terminus to 1425 vehicles per day along the concurrency with US-56.[9] K-190 is not included in the National Highway System.[10] The National Highway System is a system of highways important to the nation's defense, economy, and mobility. K-190 does connect to the National Highway System at its eastern terminus at US-83 and US-160.[11] The entire route is paved with partial design bituminous pavement except the section concurrent with US-56, which is composite pavement.[1][12]

History

In three separate resolutions on August 11, 1954, it was passed, that once Grant, Haskell and Seward Counties had furnished a right of way of 100 feet wide that the road would be added to the state highway system.[2][3][4] Haskell County finished their section by November 1, 1954,[3] Grant County by December 6, 1954,[2] and Seward County by December 20, 1954.[4] Then in a December 22, 1954 resolution, the road was designated as K-190 and added to the state highway system.[2][3][4] When the highway was first designated, it overlapped K-45 in Satanta. Then on June 27, 1956, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) approved US-56, which replaced K-45 through the city.[13]
