Route description

K-223 is not included in the National Highway System.[3] The National Highway System is a system of highways important to the nation's defense, economy, and mobility. K-223 does connect to the National Highway System at its junction with K-383.[4] 2017 Annual average daily traffic (AADT) on K-223 was 45 vehicles per day.[5]

History

K-223 was planned by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) in a July 30, 1958 meeting to become a state highway through Leoville as soon as the roadway was brought up to state highway standards.[2] Then by June 1959, the required projects were complete, and the highway became K-223 in a June 10, 1959 resolution. The alignment of K-223 has not changed since its creation.
