K-32, also known as the Kaw Valley Scenic Highway, is an approximately east–west state highway in the Kansas City metropolitan area of Kansas. K-32's western terminus is just outside Lawrence at U.S. Route 24 (US-24) and US-40. Its eastern terminus is at US-69, also known as the 18th Street Expressway, in Kansas City. Along the way it intersects several major highways, including K-7 in Bonner Springs as well as Interstate 435 (I-435) and I-635 in Kansas City. In Kansas City, K-32 follows the Turner Diagonal from Kaw Drive to Kansas Avenue. From its western terminus to Bonner Springs, the highway is a two-lane rural highway; the remaining section is a four-lane highway that runs through residential areas. K-32 was first established as a state highway in 1927. At that time, the highway ran from US-40 northeast of Lawrence to the Missouri border in Kansas City. By 1937, K-32 was realigned off of Kansas Avenue to follow Muncie Bluff Road and Central Avenue through Kansas City. In the early 1950s, the highway was built on a new alignment to the east and west of Linwood. In the late-1960s, K-32 was upgraded to a four-lane highway between Bonner Springs and Kansas City. In the early-1990s, K-132 was decommissioned, at which time K-32 was realigned onto the former section from K-32 eastward. K-32's alignment has not changed since the latter realignment. Route description K-32's western terminus is at U.S. Route 24 (US-24) and US-40 in extreme northeastern Douglas County, northeast of Lawrence. From this intersection, K-32 heads east along Linwood Road and quickly enters Leavenworth County. The highway crosses over Interstate 70 (I-70) and the Kansas Turnpike; however, there is no connection. The roadway proceeds east to Golden Road, where the highway shifts north slightly as it crosses Kent Creek. K-32 continues to an intersection with County Route 1, which connects K-32 with I-70 and the Kansas Turnpike. The roadway continues east and soon enters the northern part of Linwood. The highway exits the city and crosses over Stranger Creek then curves northeast and passes Saroxie Lake. K-32 continues to Hemphill Road, where it curves east, then intersects 170th Street. The highway crosses Little Kaw Creek then intersects North 158th Street south of Basehor. K-32 crosses into Wyandotte County as it enters Bonner Springs as Kump Avenue. The highway crosses Wolf Creek then intersects K-32 Truck (Scheidt Lane). The roadway curves south then
