K-64 is a 3.574-mile-long (5.752 km) state highway in Pratt County, Kansas. The highway is a partial bypass of Pratt that runs from U.S. Route 281 (US-281) just south of the city limits to US-54/US-400 east of them. The route is maintained by the Kansas Department of Transportation and is not part of the National Highway System. K-64 was designated at around 1932 and paved in 1937.
Route description
K-64 begins at an intersection with US-281 just south of Pratt. The highway heads east on a two-lane road through a hilly, slightly wooded area. The road passes south of an unnamed lake, then turns to the north. The route then crosses the south fork of the Ninnescah River and the Kansas and Oklahoma Railroad before reaching its northern terminus at a T intersection with US-54 and US-400.[3][4]
K-64 is maintained by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT). In 2012, the traffic on the route, calculated in annual average daily traffic, was 750 vehicles on the north–south section and 1260 vehicles on the east–west section.[5] K-64 is not a part of the National Highway System,[6] a system of highways considered important to the nation's defense, economy, and mobility.[7]
