Keep an eye out for SpaceX moving across Kansas

27 July 2023

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Kansas may be becoming part of the preferred transportation route for SpaceX.

Another shipment is expected to enter Kansas today, July 27, on Highway 36 from St. Joseph, Missouri. The shipment will take a mostly rural path of highways through Kansas, but will also use portions of I-70, Highway 77, and 56.

Their top speed is expected to only be 45 mph. The cargo will also likely take up both lanes of traffic as it did when it passed through Kansas in May.

The shipment is headed to Texas. SpaceX operates its Rocket Development Center in MacGregor, between Waco and Fort Cavazos. SpaceX Starbase launch facility is located along the Gulf coast near Brownsville.

The shipment will take several days to pass through, with it exiting the state by August 1 on Highway 56 at Elkhart.
