K-28 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Kansas. The 29.019-mile-long (46.702 km) highway connects K-14 in Jewell with K-9 near Concordia.
Route description
K-28 begins at K-14 (Columbus Street) in the city of Jewell in south central Jewell County. K-14 heads north toward Mankato and south toward Beloit. K-28 heads east along Delaware Street and crosses Buffalo Creek, a tributary of the Republican River, east of the city limits.[2] The highway crosses Spring Creek west of its junction with K-148, which heads east through the southern tier of Republic County. K-28 turns south toward Randall.[3] The highway enters the town along Main Street, turns east onto 2nd Street, south onto Water Street, and east again at the south city limit.[4] K-28 parallels Buffalo Creek into northwestern Cloud County. The highway has three right-angle turns along section lines as it passes to the south of Jamestown Wildlife Area. K-28 crosses to the south side of Buffalo Creek after the third turn, then the highway curves southeast toward Jamestown.[3] The highway crosses Cheyenne Creek and passes very close to but does not enter the city limits.[5] East of Jamestown, K-28 has a grade crossing of a Kyle Railroad line and crosses Whites Creek. East of the unincorporated village of Yuma, the highway closely parallels the Kyle line and a BNSF Railway line that comes to parallel the Kyle line through Concordia, the county seat of Cloud County. K-28 does not make it to Concordia, as it curves away from the rail lines, crosses Wolf Creek, and reaches its eastern terminus at a Y-intersection with K-9, which heads east into Concordia and southwest toward Beloit.[3]
History
K-28 is one of the original Kansas highways.
