Referring to road rehabilitation .... certain road segments are to be repaired and rehabilitated in Uruguay and the text refers to specific sections as "progresivas 286K000 - 288K300" etc. I know this refers to road sections with a kilometer reference but would welcome any suggestions on how best to render this idea. Thanks in advance :)

markers
In the States, where we (still!) use miles, we call them milemarkers. But elsewhere, they are called kilometer markers.

I do not find chainage in US documentation. I would call the markers themselves \"markers\" and call the distance traveled \"distance traveled\". The markers may be kilometer markers or mile markers as appropriate. Distance markers is neutral.

Comment: ""markers" fits the context best. I ended up going with "km markers" followed by the k references. Thanks very much to all for helping me along the way both figuratively and literally :)"

"Chainage" might be a little old-fashioned these days, but engineers will understand it (I think I have seen "kilometrage" but can't find any references to support it). If this is for the lay public then why not "stretch", or even "stretch between chainage 286.000 and 288.300"?
