K-119 (Kansas Highway)

The Kansas state highway system includes and has included many state highway spurs that connect through highways with places that are not along a through highway. The Kansas Department of Transportation and its predecessor agencies have established most of these highways to serve small cities. In most cases, the spur highway connecting a through route with a city ends at the city limit of the city. The spur highways also serve unincorporated villages, state institutions like psychiatric hospitals, state parks and other Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism–administered facilities, and historic sites.

;Major intersections

K-67

K-67 is a spur route that serves the Kansas Department of Corrections Norton Correctional Facility east of Norton in central Norton County. The highway begins at US-36 and K-383, which run concurrently east–west, and immediately has a grade crossing of the Kyle Railroad. K-67 passes along the east side of the state prison and crosses Prairie Dog Creek before reaching its northern terminus at the next section line road. K-67 has existed since at least January 1938. Before K-67 provided access to Norton Correctional Facility, the highway served Norton State Hospital on the same site. The state hospital closed in 1988.

K-71

K-71 is a spur route that serves the city of Bern in north central Nemaha County. The route begins at an intersection with K-63 and heads east to Bern, where it ends at an intersection with 216th Road and Matthews Avenue.

K-72

K-72 was a spur route that served the city of Basehor. The highway began at US-24 and US-40 and ran northward to the Basehor city limits. The Kansas Department of Transportation removed K-72 from the state highway system in 1973 and it is now known as 155th Street.

K-74

K-74 was a spur route that served the city of Potter. The highway began at US-73/K-7 east of Potter and ran south and west to the Potter city limits. K-74 was withdrawn from the highway system by the Kansas Department of Transportation on December 10, 2013.

K-76

K-76 was a spur route that served the unincorporated village of Williamstown in southeastern Jefferson County. The highway began at Railroad Avenue just north of the Union Pacific Railroad. K-76 headed north along Oak Street to a four-way intersection with US-24 and US-59. From that intersection, US-24 headed west toward Perry, US-59 headed north toward Oskaloosa, and the two U.S. Highways headed southeast concurrently toward Lawrence. K-76 has existed since before 1951, when the Kansas State Highway Department approved a relocation of US-24 on the north side of Williamstown through a May 23, 1951, resolution. This project moved the US-24–US-59–K-76 intersection south, and US-59 took over the northern part of K-76's course. The Kansas Department of Transportation removed K-76 from the state highway system through a January 3, 2014, resolution.

K-78

K-78 is a spur route that serves the unincorporated village of Miller in northeastern Lyon County. The highway begins at a junction of section line roads on the northern edge of the village. K-78 heads north to its end at US-56 between Admire and Osage City. A spur to Miller has been part of the state highway system since at 1936. K-78 was assigned to the Miller spur by January 1938 at the latest.

K-79

K-79 is a spur route that serves the city of Circleville in north central Jackson County. The route begins at an intersection with K-16 and heads north to Circleville, where it ends at an intersection with 254th Road and K Road.

K-80 is a spur route that serves the city of Morganville in north central Clay County. The route begins at an intersection with Jayhawk Road and Allen Street, where it heads east and ends at an intersection with K-15.

K-84

K-84 is a spur route that serves the unincorporated village of Penokee in west central Graham County. The highway begins just north of Railroad Avenue in the village, from which the road continues south as 4th Street. K-84 crosses the South Fork Solomon River on its way to its northern terminus at US-24 between Hoxie and Hill City. The main east–west highway of Graham County crossed the South Fork Solomon River at Penokee on its course between Morland and Hill City in 1918. However, by 1932, that highway followed US-24's present course, and a spur route may have been in place south to Penokee. K-84 was assigned to the Penokee spur by January 1938 at the latest.

K-85

K-85 is a spur route that serves the city of Morland in west central Graham County. The highway begins at the north city limit north of Solomon Street; the road continues as 5th Street. K-85 crosses the South Fork Solomon River on its way to its northern terminus at US-24 between Hoxie and Hill City. The main east–west highway of Graham County followed the south side of the South Fork Solomon River at Morland on its course between Hoxie and the village of Penokee in 1918. However, by 1932, that highway followed US-24's present course, and a spur route may have been in place south to Morland. K-85 was assigned to the Morland spur by January 1938 at the latest.

K-86

K-86 was a spur route of U.S. Route 56 (US-56) that served Canton. At the city limits, it became Main Street in Canton. The road continues both north (beyond the city limits of Canton) and south as McPherson County Route 304 (27th Avenue). It continues north to the McPherson State Fishing Lake/Maxwell Game Preserve, Roxbury and Gypsum, ending at K-4. It continues to the south to Hesston, Sedgwick and west Wichita, ending at Wichita Mid-Continent Airport.

;History
K-86 was commissioned by 1938. It first appeared on the January 1938 state highway map. K-86 was decommissioned on September 9, 2009, due to the city of Canton annexing land around the highway. In the same highway resolution, K-175 was removed and K-14 was rerouted along K-61 from Arlington to Hutchinson then along K-96 to the former end of the K-14 / K-96 overlap. Also in the same resolution K-61 was slightly realigned southwest of McPherson, realigned around Inman and slightly realigned north-northeast of Hutchinson.
