October 15, 2009: South end of US 73 on the western edge of the Kansas City metro. The location changed a few years ago, after Kansas moved the remaining independent pieces of US 24/40 east of KS 7 onto I-70.
US 73 should have been in Iowa. In 1934, the state even created an IA 73 in the hope of an immediate upgrade. Unfortunately, US 73 had already been extended through Nebraska by then, and Iowa got US 59 instead.
