K-106 is a 16.254-mile-long (26.158 km) state highway in the U.S. state of Kansas. K-106 is signed as a west–east route even though the first approximately 6.5 miles (10.5 km) runs directly south to north. K-106's western terminus is at K-18 east of Tescott, and the eastern terminus is at Lake Drive at Ottawa State Fishing Lake. K-106 was first formed as a loop within Minneapolis but was first extended southward to K-18 and then extended eastward along the former alignment of K-93.
Route description
K-106 is not included in the National Highway System.[2] The National Highway System is a system of highways important to the nation's defense, economy, and mobility. K-106 does connect to the National Highway System at its junction with US-81.[3] 2017 Annual average daily traffic (AADT) on K-106 ranged from 190 near its eastern terminus to 1840 just west of US-81. Also in 2017, the AADT was 655 just south of Minneapolis and was 785 at its western terminus.[4]

K-106 was assigned by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) on July 8, 1944 when US-81 was moved slightly east to a new alignment.[7] On July 11, 1956 KDOT passed a resoulution to extend K-106 southward 7.554 miles (12.157 km) to K-18 and to remove K-106N from the state highway system.[8] The portion of K-106 from Heartland Drive east to Ottawa Lake was originally K-93. K-93 was added to K-106 when the new alignment of US-81 was built.[5][6]
