K-32 is an approximately 35-mile (56 km) state highway that runs from Lawrence to Kansas City in the U.S. state of Kansas, generally paralleling the course of the Kansas River. Its western terminus is just outside Lawrence at US-24/US-40. Its eastern terminus is in Kansas City at US-69 (the 18th Street Expressway).
K-32 begins in extreme northeastern Douglas County at an intersection with US-24 and US-40 northeast of Lawrence. From this intersection, K-32 heads east along Linwood Road through rural parts of Leavenworth County, passing through the town of Linwood. The road crosses into Wyandotte County and the town of Bonner Springs 8.884 miles (14.297 km) east of Linwood.
In Bonner Springs, K-32 proceeds east on Kump Avenue until forced to turn northeast by the Kansas River. The highway then has an interchange with K-7. At this point, K-32 becomes a divided highway and runs alongside a Union Pacific rail line. Now bearing the name of Front Street, the route continues east into Edwardsville south of the Lake of the Forest. In Edwardsville, it picks up the name of Kaw Drive.
