Route 9 is a highway in the Kansas City, Missouri area. Its northern terminus is at Interstate 29/U.S. Route 71 in Kansas City North; its southern terminus is at Interstate 35/Interstate 70/U.S. Route 24/U.S. Route 40 in downtown Kansas City. Though both termini are in Kansas City, it passes through other towns and cities. It is carried across the Missouri River by the Heart of America Bridge between downtown Kansas City, Missouri and North Kansas City, Missouri. In  North Kansas City, the highway serves as a main thoroughfare, Burlington Street.

## Route Description

[edit]

Beginning at the Missouri River, Route 9 travels north through the west side of North Kansas City as a six-lane surface street. As it enters Kansas City, it splits off  Route 283, which continues northward, while Route 9 traverses northwesterly. It then intersects  US-169 and immediately after entering  Riverside, it junctions with  I-635 and  US-69 and then continues west-northwest. It then enters  Parkville and turns northward as it travels through downtown and past the Riss Lake neighborhood to  Route 45. From Route 45, it exits Parkville and reenters Kansas City traveling northeast past the  Royal Oaks North neighborhood. Then it turns north, passing on the west side of  Platte Woods and the east side of  Park Forest and  Platte Ridge and then arrives at its northern terminus where it junctions with Northwest Barry Road and  I-29.

## History
