Russell and K-18. In a July 10, 1946 resolution, a roughly 2.5 miles (4.0 km) section was realigned from US-160 southward, near
Medicine Lodge, to eliminated several sharp curves. This realignment created a short overlap with US-160. In an August 28, 1946 resolution, US-281 was realigned by Luray to eliminate several sharp curves and turns. In a December 9, 1948 resolution, an approximately 4.3 miles (6.9 km) section of US-281 was realigned in Great Bend. In a September 27, 1950 resolution, US-281 was realigned in and north of Lebanon to eliminate four sharp curves. In another September 27, 1950 resolution, US-281 was realigned just south of the Nebraska border to eliminate two sharp curves. In a January 11, 1951 resolution, an approximately six miles (9.7 km) section of US-281 was realigned northwest of Sawyer, which eliminated a sharp turn and two railroad crossings. In a February 14, 1951 resolution, a roughly twelve miles (19 km) section of US-281 was realigned northwest of Kiowa to eliminate eight sharp curves. In a January 28, 1954 resolution, US-50S (modern US-50) was realigned between US-281 and Stafford to eliminate several sharp curves, which created a short overlap with US-281. The overlap lasted a little over a year, then in a September 14, 1955 resolution, US-50S was realigned to continue west from US-281. In Pratt, US-54 originally overlapped US-281 from 5th Street to 1st Street. Then in a January 4, 1956 resolution, US-54 was realigned to cross US-281 and follow 1st Street. In a December 22, 1958 resolution, a four miles (6.4 km) section of I-70 was planned along with a diamond interchange to connect to US-281. In another December 22, 1958 resolution, a short section of US-281 was realigned northwest of Portis to eliminate three sharp curves. US-281 originally continued past Iliff Street along US-160 to Main Street where it turned north. It continued north to Stolp Avenue where it turned west and continued to Iliff Street where it turned north. Then in an August 24, 1966 resolution it was realigned to turn north of US-160 at Iliff Street. US-40 Business, which overlaps US-281 in Russell, was originally known as US-40 Alternate until 1981. K-14 originally overlapped US-281 from the Oklahoma border to K-2, then in a December 21, 1994 resolution K-14 was truncated to US-160 in Harper. In a November 15, 2013 resolution, US-40 Business was decommissioned, which eliminated the overlap with US-281.
630:. The roundabout includes outer diamond shape lanes for oversized loads to bypass the roundabout. The former intersection with US-50 was dangerous as only US-281 traffic had to stop and therefore was the location of several injury and fatal accidents. Between 2002 and 2012, there were 21 accidents, resulting in one fatality. On March 4, 2020, traffic was rerouted, from a four-way stop and temporary asphalt detour, onto the permanent concrete outer roads for the roundabout. The roundabout was completed and opened up to traffic on May 22, 2020. Venture Corporation from Great Bend, was the primary contractor for the $ 5.2 million project.

After intersecting with 22nd Street, 281 Bypass starts to curve to the west until it intersects with 24th Street. It remains unsigned on 24th Street until its northwestern terminus with its parent route on Main Street (US-281). The northwestern terminus of U.S. Highway 281 Bypass is directly adjacent

In a June 6, 1936 resolution, US-281 was slightly realigned north of
Lebanon to eliminate two sharp turns. In a December 5, 1939 resolution, it was realigned from K-18 southward to the new alignment that was approved in the March 3, 1936 resolution, which completely straightened its alignment between

Between 1933 and 1936, US-281 was extended south into Kansas to US-36 south of
