A large shunting yard is crossed over a kilometer long bridge. Then one crosses the Kansas River and then crosses Interstate 70 which comes from Topeka and Denver. They cross the Missouri River a few miles later, which is also the border with the state of Missouri. The highway ends shortly thereafter at Interstate 29, the highway to Omaha.
History
Interstate 635 was built in the early to mid 1970s. In 1973, two short sections opened from I-35 to Metropolitan Avenue and a second section between State Avenue and Leavenworth Road. In 1975, these two sections were both extended 2 kilometers northwards, but were not yet connected. This happened about 1976 or 1977 when both the Kansas River and Missouri River bridges were completed. This completed I-635.
