Aug. 8, 2010: This BGS south of Joplin is one of the many signs and assemblies that had to be changed to include Interstate 49.
Clinching the state just got another wrinkle for me. As of this minute, there’s another interstate running through. More news here.
The designation runs from I-435 (the Grandview Triangle) in southern Kansas City down to Pineville, where 71 becomes an at-grade road again into Arkansas. There is no word on whether I-49 will be extended up I-435 to I-70, so right now its ends are at a 3di and in the “middle of nowhere”.
Happy 12/12/12!
