Pretty much my most driven interstate. I feel that I-35 could stand to be widened to 3 lanes each way from where it splits off from I-29 all the way to Excelsior Springs especially with growth in Liberty. Honestly though, traffic still kind of functions smoothly with just two lanes.
It's one of the oldest stretches of I-35, started in the early 1950's as US 71 and 69 (the North Midtown, St. Joseph and Claycomo Expressway/freeways), originally only four lanes, connecting with the ancient Lewis & Clark Viaduct to Kansas. The new Paseo bridge over the Missouri River is really nice. Getting 35 up to six lanes will be a tight fit, with a narrow right-of-way.
Fun fact that tunnel you see at 4:03 was built about a decade ago. It's used as a way for people exiting onto 75th street to bypass the northbound US-69 traffic merging onto I-35. The original northbound exit for 75th Street used to be around at 5:22 in the video. It's only of those rare instances where you see a long exit like this for a regular road. Roughly 1-2 minutes of solely driving an exit ramp from where you get off before reaching your desired destination. Interesting I'd say.
It definitely helps, but once you get onto 69 northbound, it’s a hot mess. Construction and potholes everywhere, and I always seem to catch the crazy Kansas drivers, smh
This is honestly one of the most smooth and impressive stretches of I-35, IMO. Although, the Alphabet Loop is outdated, I find it quite interesting, and I didn't know some construction was running down there too. But the one that tops it all off in the KC area with the interstate is the amazing bridge.
@@MileageMikeTravelskcmo is full of crime and poverty. It’s your typical “central city”. Most the jobs and economy and wealth and density are in Johnson county Kansas now in the southwest corner of the area.
@@MileageMikeTravelsthey’re worse off than we are sadly, especially Wyandotte County. Oh and not to mention, Kansas is raising their taxes and not Johnson County’s. They need financial help.
29 starts at the interchange with 35 and 70. Originally, 29 was planned to go south where the 71 freeway/expressway is now, but the NIMBYs have scuttled extending either 29 south or 49 north to the main interchanges. 49 ends at the Triangle.
That's also because there are two MO 110's. The other is in Jefferson County, between US 67 and MO 21. The CKC will be better effected if and when Missouri upgrades US 36 to I-72 west from Hannibal to I-35 at Bethany, using I-35/72/55 as a complete route. Upgrading all the listed MO/IL 110/CKC routes is highly unlikely (see Avenue of the Saints).
No, it's for the Chicago-Kansas City expressway, a series of highways spaning from I-290 in the Chicago loop all the way to near Kansas City, Missouri.
Yeah I don't like that either. I-435 signs for Kansas City at every 2 digit interstate including US-71 in the direction heading towards downtown except for I-70 in KCK (which is okay since you are in a KC technically) and shown in this video for I-35 in Johnson County which is ironic considering it's one of the points on I-435 furthest from the city limits of KC let alone downtown.
Personally, I don’t hate the idea of Des Moines signs in Kansas. But, I think what would make it more clear is adding Downtown KC (or just KC) in addition to Des Moines to the Kansas signs (gives drivers a heads up on where I-35 is heading to in the short and long term). They kind of do this thing in Arkansas with two control cities (EX: I-40 W in Little Rock often signs Fort Smith and Oklahoma City together).
I guess it assumes that drivers know that they're in the Kansas City area and that they should mention the next major city this interstate passes through despite it's distances away from that point

Nice ride a long. Thanks for sharing. Driving skills are an A++

My home state KC😊 ride along. Sweet!!!!

Oh yeah. US-71 has a great bridge, driving through it at night is amazing.
Nice ride along interstate 35 in Kansas city MO
Nice ride on I 35 North in Kansas City
So many memories of the Paseo bridge, always going to America’s and Worlds of Fun. Good times
What else I don't like is no US 69 South exit from North I-35 in Overland Park, KS.
Yeah that's a strange one. US 69's routing in this area is strange in itself. It leaves I-35 at 63rd st. but crosses over it again at the next exit.
Increíblemente limpio y ordenado y exelente la educación vial de los lugareños
You know your in Missouri when your the street lights look like you bought them from goodwill.
😂
Kansas has us beat there 😞
The segment from 9:46 to the Missouri border reminds of I-285 in the western part of Atlanta
Nunca estuve en ese lugar pero he visto muchos vídeos de este lugar y una cosa es seguro ,es como si hubiera conducido por esa autopista
12:52 Kansas City Missouri been there oh boy 11 years in 2012 haven't been to the other KC Kansas
I notice not many people talk about the other Kansas City.

KCMO is awful. So many people who are from there (including myself) moved and never looked back. Too much violence.
I know Kansas City MO is worst you guys cause some of they don't want to live here
I'm just curious. Why does Interstate 29 start as concurrency with Interstate 35? Why can't it just start at the point in splits from Interstate 35?
29 starts at the interchange with 35 and 70. Originally, 29 was planned to go south where the 71 freeway/expressway is now, but the NIMBYs have scuttled extending either 29 south or 49 north to the main interchanges. 49 ends at the Triangle.
Did you happen to notice the special route of MO 110 near the end of the video?
Good eye. I didn't catch then until you just mentioned it now. What's it for?
@@MileageMikeTravels MO 110, along with IL 110, is part of the Chicago to Kansas City Expressway (CKC).
That's also because there are two MO 110's. The other is in Jefferson County, between US 67 and MO 21. The CKC will be better effected if and when Missouri upgrades US 36 to I-72 west from Hannibal to I-35 at Bethany, using I-35/72/55 as a complete route. Upgrading all the listed MO/IL 110/CKC routes is highly unlikely (see Avenue of the Saints).
24:51 MO/IL 110 may be the most unnecessary route ever.
No, it's for the Chicago-Kansas City expressway, a series of highways spaning from I-290 in the Chicago loop all the way to near Kansas City, Missouri.
From what I see it looks like it's just concurrent with other routes for its entire length?
@@MileageMikeTravels Basically, I cringe every time I think about it.
The Alphabet Loop.
Definitely my favorite place to drive through during rush hour
I know the clay county mo I-35 like the back of my hand.
I-435 when
Probably later this week.
@@MileageMikeTravels I wish you luck, it's one of the longest. 83 miles long
Why mention Des Moines when KC or MO hasn't even been reached?
Yeah I don't like that either. I-435 signs for Kansas City at every 2 digit interstate including US-71 in the direction heading towards downtown except for I-70 in KCK (which is okay since you are in a KC technically) and shown in this video for I-35 in Johnson County which is ironic considering it's one of the points on I-435 furthest from the city limits of KC let alone downtown.

@@banana7753 Definitely would rather have two control cities. Too often of times there is none around here.
