U.S. Route 281 Bypass is a 1.4 mile (2.25 km) bypass of U.S. Route 281 running within the northeastern and eastern portions of Great Bend, Kansas. This mostly unsigned, two-lane surface highway bypasses downtown Great Bend. The only visible indication of this being a bypass is via street signs along intersecting streets.
[edit] Route Description
281 Bypass begins its journey near the intersection of 10th (US-56/K-96/K-156) and Pine Streets. 10th Street, which is normally east-west, travels slightly southwest-northeast for one block with its intersection with the bypass.
The bypass travels mostly to the northwest until near Park and Frey Streets. Then, it steers towards the north-northwest.
After intersecting with 22nd Street, 281 Bypass starts to curve to the west until it intersects with 24th Street. It remains unsigned on 24th Street until its northwestern terminus with its parent route on Main Street (US-281). The northwestern terminus of U.S. Highway 281 Bypass is directly adjacent to Brit Spaugh Park in Great Bend.
