OKRoads -- U.S. 69 Kansas -- Southbound

What U.S. 71 is to western Missouri is what U.S. 69 is to eastern Kansas; the major north-south route in that part of the state. U.S. 69, unlike U.S. 71, is two-laned throughout most of Kansas, but construction to widen some parts of U.S. 69 to four lanes between Fort Scott and Louisburg is underway. U.S. 69 enters Kansas north of Picher, Oklahoma, and exits Kansas just south of Interstate 635 in Kansas City. It is a freeway from 359th Street near Louisburg to Interstate 35 in Merriam.
