'''K-58''' is a {{convert|46.761|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}} east–west–west [[state highway]] in the [[U.S. state]] of [[Kansas]]. K-58's western terminus is at [[K-99 (Kansas highway)|K-99]] west of [[Madison, Kansas|Madison]]. It runs east through [[Lamont, Kansas|Lamont]] and [[Gridley, Kansas|Gridley]] and after a short concurrency with [[U.S. Route 75 in Kansas|US-75]], it goes through [[LeRoy, Kansas|LeRoy]] before ending at the eastern terminus at [[U.S. Route 169 in Kansas|U.S. Route 169]] (US-169) near [[Colony, Kansas|Colony]]. It is one of the newer state highways in Kansas formed on September 20, 2004, when [[K-57 (Kansas highway)|K-57]] was truncated at [[K-4 (Kansas highway)|K-4]] in [[Dwight, Kansas|Dwight]]. The route changes were made because of K-57's long concurrencies with K-4, [[K-177 (Kansas highway)|K-177]], [[U.S. Route 50 (Kansas)|US-50]] and K-99.
==Route description==
K-58 begins at [[K-99 (Kansas highway)|K-99]] west of [[Madison, Kansas|Madison]], begins traveling east, and then enters Madison as West Madison Street. It continues through Madison, then turns south and follows 4th Street to the northern terminus of [[K-249 (Kansas highway)|K-249]]. Here the highway turns eastward to follow Lincoln Street out of the city. As it exits Madison, it continues east for {{convert|1.5|mi|km}}, then crosses the [[Verdigris River]]. From here, it continues east {{convert|0.5|mi|km}}, turns south for {{convert|0.5|mi|km}}, then back east. The highway then crosses [[Halderman Creek]], as it turns southeastward. It soon curves back east and after {{convert|2|mi|km|spell=in}}, passes through [[Lamont, Kansas|Lamont]]. Just past Lamont, K-58 crosses Long Creek, then crosses into [[Coffey County, Kansas|Coffey County]] {{convert|3|mi|km|spell=in}} later. Roughly {{convert|2|mi|km|spell=in}} into the county, the highway turns south for {{convert|1|mi|km|spell=in}}, then back east. It continues east as it enters [[Gridley, Kansas|Gridley]]. It continues through the city for {{convert|1.8|mi|km}} then exits the city. As it exits Gridley, it crosses [[Varvel Creek]], as it continues east. Roughly {{convert|6.8|mi|km}} east from here, it joins US-75, and the two routes head south. The two routes cross South Big Creek, then K-58 leaves the overlap and heads east. It continues for {{convert|4.5|mi|km}}, where it crosses the [[Neosho River]], then shortly enters [[Le Roy, Kansas|Le Roy]]. Within Le Roy, K-58 crosses the [[BNSF Railway]], and then exits the city. About {{convert|5.9|mi|km}} past Le Roy, the highway enters into [[Anderson County, Kansas|Anderson County]]. About {{convert|1.8|mi|km}} into the county it crosses Little Indian Creek then [[Indian Creek (Neosho River tributary)|Indian Creek]], {{convert|1.3|mi|km}} later. It continues east from here another roughly {{convert|4.6|mi|km}}, where it intersects [[U.S. Route 169 in Kansas|US-169]] northwest of [[Colony, Kansas|Colony]].
The [[Kansas Department of Transportation]] (KDOT) tracks the traffic levels on its highways, and in 2018, they determined that [[annual average daily traffic|on average]] the traffic varied from 325 vehicles just east of Lamont to 2410 vehicles on the overlap with US-75.<ref name=AADT>{{cite map |author = Bureau of Transportation Planning |year = 2018 |url = https://www.ksdot.org/Assets/wwwksdotorg/bureaus/burTransPlan/maps/CountMaps/Districts/countmap2018.pdf |title = Traffic Flow Map Kansas State Highway System |scale = [c. 1:1,584,000] |___location = Topeka |publisher = Kansas Department of Transportation |access-date = April 27, 2020}}</ref><ref name=AADTinset>{{cite map |author = Bureau of Transportation Planning |year = 2018 |url = https://www.ksdot.org/Assets/wwwksdotorg/bureaus/burTransPlan/maps/CountMaps/Districts/insetmap2018.pdf |title = Traffic Flow Inset Map Kansas State Highway System |scale = [c. 1:1,584,000] |___location = Topeka |publisher = Kansas Department of Transportation |access-date = April 27, 2020}}</ref> The only section of K-58 included in the [[National Highway System (United States)|National Highway System]] is its overlap with US-75.<ref name=NHSKansas>{{cite map |author = Federal Highway Administration |author-link = Federal Highway Administration |date = May 8, 2019 |url = https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/national_highway_system/nhs_maps/kansas/ks_kansas.pdf |title = National Highway System: Kansas |scale = Scale not given |___location = Washington, DC |publisher = Federal Highway Administration |access-date = April 27, 2020 }}</ref> The National Highway System is a system of highways important to the nation's defense, economy, and mobility.<ref>{{cite web |first1 = Stefan |last1 = Natzke |first2 = Mike |last2 = Neathery |first3 = Kevin |last3 = Adderly |url = https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/national_highway_system/ |work = National Highway System |title = What is the National Highway System? |publisher = Federal Highway Administration |date = September 26, 2012 |access-date = April 27, 2020 }}</ref> K-58 also connects to the National Highway System at its junction with US-169.<ref name=NHSKansas/>
==History==
===Former designation===
The first K-58 was formed in 1927, with its western terminus at [[U.S. Route 50 (Kansas)|US-50]] northeast of [[Lenexa, Kansas|Lenexa]], and its eastern terminus at US-73E, or Metcalf Avenue.
By 1936, US-73E was renumbered as [[U.S. Route 69 (Kansas)|US-69]], and K-58 was realigned. It began at [[U.S. Route 50 (Kansas)|US-50]] near [[Lenexa, Kansas]], and followed Metcalf Avenue/US-69 north to Southwest Boulevard (now Merriam Drive). It turned east to Antone Road (now 34th Street) near the [[Argentine, Kansas|Argentine]] neighborhood of [[Kansas City, Kansas]], where it headed north to Strong Avenue. It turned east on Strong and headed north on (what is today) the Goddard Viaduct. It then headed east on Argentine Boulevard, crossed the [[Kansas River]] on the [[Argentine Bridge]], and headed north on 18th Street to [[K-5 (Kansas highway)|K-5]], the Quindaro Boulevard, where it ended.
In 1956, the [[18th Street Expressway]] was completed, allowing a rerouting of US-69 off of Southwest Boulevard. A new toll bridge over the [[Kansas River]] was built for the expressway, and the Argentine Bridge was demolished. K-58 then was rerouted to leave Metcalf and follow east on [[Shawnee Mission Parkway]], then follow north on the 18th Street Expressway to K-5.
Due to the rerouting of US-50 out of downtown [[Mission, Kansas]], [[K-158 (Kansas highway)|K-158]] was created. It ran on Johnson Drive from 18th Street Expressway to Metcalf.
In 1979, K-58 and K-158 were given to the cities of [[Roeland Park, Kansas|Roeland Park]], [[Overland Park, KS|Overland Park]], and [[Mission, Kansas]]. K-58 became the first of several highways to be turned back, shortened, or realigned in Kansas City, as the [[Interstate Highway|Interstate]] highways were being completed.
In 1996, extensive reconstruction was completed in [[Roeland Park, Kansas]], where K-58 formerly traveled. As a result, the former Skyline Drive interchange was transformed into an at-grade intersection, also eliminating the Skyline tunnel underneath the expressway. When this was completed, [[Johnson County, Kansas]] renamed the segment from [[Shawnee Mission Parkway]] to [[Interstate 35 (Kansas)|I-35]] as "Roe Boulevard", a continuation of "Roe Avenue" from [[Fairway, Kansas]] to I-35.
===New designation===
The current K-58 was designated in a September 20, 2004 resolution. It replaced a former alignment of K-57, which was truncated to Dwight at this time.<ref name=2004resolution/>
