Kansas is served by two [[Interstate Highway System|Interstate highways]] with one [[Ring road|beltway]], two [[spur route]]s, and three [[bypass (road)|bypasses]], with over {{convert|874|mi|km}} in all. The first section of Interstate in the nation was opened on [[Interstate 70 in Kansas|Interstate&nbsp;70]] (I-70) just west of [[Topeka, Kansas|Topeka]] on November 14, 1956.<ref>{{Citation |publisher = Kansas Department of Transportation |url = https://www.ksdot.org/interstate50th/KsStory_I70.asp |title = I-70—the First Open Interstate |date = July 24, 2014 |access-date = October 7, 2016 |url-status = live |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20161026180917/https://www.ksdot.org/interstate50th/KsStory_I70.asp |archive-date = October 26, 2016}}</ref>

I-70 is a major east–west route connecting to [[Denver]], Colorado and [[Kansas City, Missouri]]. Cities along this route (from west to east) include [[Colby, Kansas|Colby]], [[Hays, Kansas|Hays]], [[Salina, Kansas|Salina]], [[Junction City, Kansas|Junction City]], [[Topeka, Kansas|Topeka]], [[Lawrence, Kansas|Lawrence]], [[Bonner Springs, Kansas|Bonner Springs]], and [[Kansas City, Kansas|Kansas City]].

[[Interstate 35 in Kansas|I-35]] is a major north–south route connecting to [[Oklahoma City]], Oklahoma and [[Des Moines, Iowa]]. Cities along this route (from south to north) include [[Wichita, Kansas|Wichita]], [[El Dorado, Kansas|El Dorado]], [[Emporia, Kansas|Emporia]], [[Ottawa, Kansas|Ottawa]], and Kansas City (and suburbs).

Spur routes serve as connections between the two major routes. [[Interstate 135 (Kansas)|I-135]], a north–south route, connects I-35 at Wichita to I-70 at Salina. [[Interstate 335 (Kansas)|I-335]], a southwest–northeast route, connects I-35 at Emporia to I-70 at Topeka. I-335 and portions of I-35 and I-70 make up the [[Kansas Turnpike]]. Bypasses include [[Interstate 470 (Kansas)|I-470]] around Topeka, [[Interstate 235 (Kansas)|I-235]] around Wichita, and [[Interstate 670 (Kansas)|I-670]] in downtown Kansas City. [[Interstate 435 (Kansas)|I-435]] is a beltway around the [[Kansas City metropolitan area]] while [[Interstate 635 (Kansas–Missouri)|I-635]] bypasses through Kansas City.

[[U.S. Route 69 in Kansas|U.S. Route&nbsp;69]] (US-69) travels south to north, from Oklahoma to Missouri. The highway passes through the eastern section of Kansas, traveling through [[Baxter Springs, Kansas|Baxter Springs]], [[Pittsburg, Kansas|Pittsburg]], [[Frontenac, Kansas|Frontenac]], [[Fort Scott, Kansas|Fort Scott]], [[Louisburg, Kansas|Louisburg]], and the Kansas City area.

Kansas also has the country's third largest state highway system after Texas and California. This is because of the high number of counties and [[county seat]]s (105) and their intertwining.

In January 2004, the [[Kansas Department of Transportation]] (KDOT) announced the new Kansas [[5-1-1|511]] traveler information service.<ref>{{Cite press release |publisher = Kansas Department of Transportation |date = January 22, 2004 |url = http://www.ksdot.org/archive/offtransinfo/News04/511_Release.htm |title = KDOT Launches New Traveler Information Service |access-date = July 14, 2006 |url-status = live |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20060118133422/http://www.ksdot.org/archive/offtransinfo/News04/511_Release.htm |archive-date = January 18, 2006}}</ref> By dialing 511, callers will get access to information about road conditions, construction, closures, detours and weather conditions for the state highway system. Weather and road condition information is updated every 15 minutes.
