Route 126 is a highway located entirely within

US 160 and Route 37 in Golden City
. The route was designated in 1942, and formerly consisted of two supplemental routes.

Route description

Route 126 starts at the Kansas state line, where K-126 ends. The road travels east for around seven miles in a straight line, intersecting Route M and Route 43. Route 126 continues eastward, crossing through farmland and a few trees. After the route intersects Route J, it meets a

T-intersection. US 160 continues eastward toward Lockwood.[1][2][3] In 2012, Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) calculated as many as 840 vehicles traveling east of I-49/US 71, and as few as 480 vehicles traveling west of I-49/US 71. This is expressed in terms of annual average daily traffic (AADT), a measure of traffic volume for any average day of the year.[4]

History

The road that became Route 126 was built and designated, as supplemental Route D around 1935. It connected from US 71 to US 160 in Golden City.

dead end east of it.[7][8] A year later, Route H was extended west to the Kansas state line.[8][9] In 1942, Route 126 was designated, replacing Route H from the state line to Route 43.[9][10] Around 1945-1949, Route H was extended east to Route Z,[11][12] and the same route was extended east for a few miles east of Route Z in 1954.[13][14] Around 1955, Route H and D were removed in the supplemental route system, and was replaced by Route 126, as the two sections became connected.[14][15] Later, Route 126 was repaved in concrete, from the state line to Route 43.[16] The whole route was repaved by 1957.[16][17] In 1979, US 71 was moved to a freeway alignment,[18][19] but an interchange wasn't built until 2010-2013.[2][20] I-49 became co-signed with US 71 in December 2012.[21]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Barton County.
