Route description
Interstate 29 begins at Interstate 70 in Kansas City in a concurrency with Interstate 35 and U.S. Route 71. It crosses over the Missouri River via the Bond Bridge. I-29 and I-35 separate in northern Kansas City, with I-29 turning northwest with US 71 running concurrent with it. It passes near Kansas City International Airport, and near there is concurrent with Interstate 435. I-29 then exits the Kansas City area. It enters the eastern portion of St. Joseph while downtown St. Joseph is served by I-229, a loop of I-29. After exiting St. Joseph, US 71 separates from I-29. Interstate 29 then passes through rural areas of northwestern Missouri on a southeast-to-northwest alignment, then crosses into Iowa north of Rock Port, approximately 55 miles south of Council Bluffs.
