Business Loop I-70 - WaKeeney

Proposed Business Route

The 2.3 mile business route for I-70 at WaKeeney was submitted to AASHTO and in 1979. The route would have connected the city center with Interstate 70 from Exit 127 by way of an overlap with U.S. 283 along 1st Street north and Barclay Avenue to the west. The east side of the loop would branch south from U.S. 283 and Barclay Avenue along 13th Street to I-70 at Exit 128. Ultimately disapproved by AASHTO, the route was alternatively marked as U.S. 40 Business.
