K-28 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Kansas. The 29.019-mile-long (46.702 km) highway connects K-14 in Jewell with K-9 near Concordia.
K-28 begins at K-14 (Columbus Street) in the city of Jewell in south central Jewell County. K-14 heads north toward Mankato and south toward Beloit. K-28 heads east along Delaware Street and crosses Buffalo Creek, a tributary of the Republican River, east of the city limits. The highway crosses Spring Creek west of its junction with K-148, which heads east through the southern tier of Republic County. K-28 turns south toward Randall. The highway enters the town along Main Street, turns east onto 2nd Street, south onto Water Street, and east again at the south city limit. K-28 parallels Buffalo Creek into northwestern Cloud County. The highway has three right-angle turns along section lines as it passes to the south of Jamestown Wildlife Area. K-28 crosses to the south side of Buffalo Creek after the third turn, then the highway curves southeast toward Jamestown. The highway crosses Cheyenne Creek and passes very close to but does not enter the city limits. East of Jamestown, K-28 has a grade crossing of a Kyle Railroad line and crosses Whites Creek. East of the unincorporated village of Yuma, the highway closely parallels the Kyle line and a BNSF Railway line that comes to parallel the Kyle line through Concordia, the county seat of Cloud County. K-28 does not make it to Concordia, as it curves away from the rail lines, crosses Wolf Creek, and reaches its eastern terminus at a Y-intersection with K-9, which heads east into Concordia and southwest toward Beloit.
