Route description

K-95 is not included in the National Highway System.[4] The National Highway System is a system of highways important to the nation's defense, economy, and mobility. K-95 does connect to the National Highway System at its southern and northern terminus, US-83.[5] 2017 Annual average daily traffic (AADT) on K-95 ranged from 125 near the northern terminus, 275 near Lake Scott State Park and 575 near the southern terminus.[6] The entire route is paved with partial design bituminous pavement.[1][7]

K-95 was first approved to become a state highway in a July 27, 1966 resolution to link US-83 to Lake Scott and Lake Scott State Park.[2] This resolution was later rescinded in a May 10, 1967 resolution and a new alignment was approved to become K-95.[8]
