U.S. 40 Kansas
U.S. 40 spans most of the nation from Interstate 80 near Park City, Utah to Atlantic City, New Jersey. In the state of Kansas, U.S. 40 is duplexed with Interstate 70 for most of its length. The highway is not duplexed with Interstate 70 only between the Colorado State Line and Exit 76 and Exits 366 and 415. The latter interstate-less section of U.S. 40 is during the span that Interstate 70 runs along the Kansas Turnpike.
