Route description
Jefferson County
K-192 begins at an intersection with US-59, crosses Crooked Creek and begins traveling east. After roughly 2 miles (3.2 km) it curves to the south for 0.5 miles (0.80 km), enters Winchester, then curves back to the east. After approximately 0.6 miles (0.97 km) it leaves Winchester and continues east for roughly 2 miles (3.2 km) and intersects Rural Secondary 21 (RS-21). From here it continues for about 1 mile (1.6 km) and then curves north for 0.5 miles (0.80 km) then curves back east. It then continues east for about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) and enters into Leavenworth County.[3]
Leavenworth County
After entering Leavenworth County it continues east for roughly 2 miles (3.2 km) then curves northeastward. From here it continues northeastward, crosses Dawson Creek and then intersects RS-1400. At this point, it curves southeast and enters Easton. After exiting Easton it crosses Buttermilk Creek and then curves northeastward for 2 miles (3.2 km) where it curves to the east. From here it continues 0.8 miles (1.3 km) then curves north. After curving north it travels 0.5 miles (0.80 km) then turns back east and travels 0.5 miles (0.80 km) and then reaches its eastern terminus at K-7 and US-73.[4]
The majority of the route is paved with partial design bituminous pavement except for the segment within the Easton city limits, which is full design bituminous pavement.[5][6] K-192 is not included in the National Highway System.[7] The National Highway System is a system of highways important to the nation's defense, economy, and mobility. K-192 does connect to the National Highway System at its eastern and western terminus.[8] 2017 Annual average daily traffic (AADT) on K-192 ranged from 625 slightly east of Winchester, 755 slightly west of Easton, 995 near the western terminus, 1680 east of Easton and 2280 near the eastern terminus.[9]
History
K-192 was first designated a state highway on January 4, 1939 by the State Highway Commission of Kansas, now known as Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT).[1][10] On August 12, 1964, the western terminis of K-192 was truncated 1.124 miles (1.809 km) when US-59 was moved onto a new alignment slightly east.[11] On March 9, 1999, the eastern terminis of K-192 was truncated 0.379 miles (0.610 km) when US-73 was moved onto a new alignment.[12]
