I-635/I-70 Interchange

Major Kansas City Connector Route

Reconstruction of the I-635/I-70 interchange in Kansas City was one of the largest projects ever built by KDOT. These are major routes in Kansas City with I-635 carrying 60,000 vehicles a day and I-70 carrying 90,000 vehicles a day. The $98 million project, completed in 2004 included completely reconstructing I-635 and I-70; new bridges on westbound I-70 over northbound and southbound I-635, southbound I-635 at Kansas Avenue, Speaker Road, the Kansas River and the Argentine Rail Yard; upgrades or new decks for other bridges, and reconstruction of several ramps.
