Although not included In the 10,. 000 miles state highway system, roads in state parks have been built or improved by the Com' mission since 1965 when the state legislature directed that a portion of state highway funds be expended annually on park roadways. Scheduled to begin this month is construction of a K-57 loop from the US-77 and K-244 junction northwest across the dam and back to US-77.

When com -pleted the K-57 loop not only will provide improved facilities' for a scenic drive over the dam but will serve as an access route to Pleasant View State Park and to a major recreation area below the dam now under construction. This is an existing road now open over the dam. oui oasic nnaings ot tact. iy overlooked the lack of The high court reversed a dis- basic findings of fact in the State highways in Mil ford Dam and Reservoir area northwest of Junction City, are in top shape for the record crowd expected to attend public dedication ceremonies on May 18, according to John Montgomery, highway director. He is also general chairman of the dedication.

New highways totaling 43 miles were completed by the State Highway Commission in the Mil-ford area only last year and will provide convenient access from all sides to the state's newest reservoir. "In order to insure smooth flow of traffic to the Milford site, directional signs have been installed at major intersections of primary highways leading directly to the reservoir, and at three interchanges on 1-70 south of Junction City," the director said. The interchanges at which motorists may leave the ihter-state are with K-S7 east of Junction City, at Grandview Plaza; with US-77 immediately west-of the city; and with FAS 270, 4 miles west of US 77. Montgomery stated that 36 miles of the new roads are relocations of highways US-77 and K-82 which were moved for reasons of reservoir construction and expansion of Fort Riley Military reservation which absorbed the old alignments. Funds for this work were from money appropriated by the Congress for the U.

S. Crops of Engineers reservoir project. The new location of US-77 begins at the southeast corner of the reservoir and travels north to Bala then turns east, to rejoin the old route at Riley. Serving traffic from the northwest, K-82 begins at the K-15 junction, 10 miles south of Clay Center, and extends east 10 miles to join new US-77, 3 miles east of Wakefield. K-82 then turns north on the US-77 alignment to Bala and continues north to junction with US-24 at Leonardville.

K-244, a new highway, was built from a junction with US-77 at the southeast corner of the reservoir, west 4.3 miles along the reservoir's south edge. US-77 Alternate route waas widened to four lanes from Jefferson Street in Junction City, north -west 2.6 miles to the US-77 and K-244 junction From the municipal airport on to the junction, the route provides a median-divided facility. The new US77 will serve three public use areas on the east side, Pleasant View State Park, Madison Creek, and the Farnum Creek area. K-82 will serve the Timber Creek area on the north; and K-244 will provide access to the Rolling Hills area on the south. The Curtis Creek and School Creek areas on the west will be serviced by FAS Route 134 which connects with K-244.

For the convenience of visitors to the Pleasant View area the only state park at Milford, 8V4 miles of hard surface roads have been built in the park by Jf Justice Alfred G. Schroeder dissented. He said the question before the corporation commission was whether direct line sales by interstate pipeline companies operating in and through the state of Kansas from their pipelines to industrial customers are subject to supervision and control by the commission.
