Route description
K-141 begins at a southern terminus with K-4 west of the town Marquette.[1][2] From there, the highway heads north for about 2.25 miles (3.62 km) before turning north-northwest.[2] After the turn, K-141 travels along the top of Kanopolis Dam.[2] Immediately after crossing the dam, the highway turns northwest, travels a short distance, then gently curves back to a northerly direction.[2] K-141 continues traveling in a northward direction until it is 1 mile (1.6 km) south of K-140, at which time it turns northeast, crosses railroad tracks, then turns back north to its northern terminus with K-140 northeast of the unincorporated community of Carneiro.[1][2] The entire route of K-141 travels primarily through rural grassland.[2] The total route length is 13.470 miles (21.678 km).[1]
K-141 is not a part of the United States National Highway System.[3] The route is paved with full design bituminous pavement from the southern terminus to 5.000 miles (8.047 km) and from 10.000 miles (16.093 km) to the northern terminus.[1] Between the two sections K-141 is paved with partial design bituminous pavement.[1] Average annual daily traffic values range from 170 just south of the northern terminus to 255 over the southernmost 7.000 miles (11.265 km) of the route.[1]
