The Kansas Department of Transportation is rebuilding or planning to rebuild several other rural intersections as roundabouts for increased safety.

The part in Missouri was defined in 1922 as Route 52 from Kansas to St. Joseph,
Route 1 from St. Joseph to Tarkio, and Route 61 from Tarkio to Iowa. Route 61 became Route 9 in 1926, and Route 52 became part of
Route 4 in 1927, and this portion became Route 18 in 1932, before being removed in favor of US 59 in the 1930s.
