Here's a shot fron the new southbound US 69 ramp to 119th Street, showing how the ramp goes up and over the ramp from I-435 and College to Southbound US 69. 10 August 2013
Here's a view of US 69 approaching the merge with Blue Valley Parkway. Through Traffic is encouraged at this point to get in the left lane, as the right lane is slated to drop off at the next exit. 10 August 2013
At the 135th Street exit ramp on US 69, there is a destination sign for Grandview and Olathe.... a remnant of when 135th Street was a state highway. 10 August 2013
For some reason, this guide sign, indicating directions to US 69 and I-35, is located on 135th Street just west of Nall. This distance sign, in a unusual move, explicitly states the unit of measurment. Based on the style and the orange sticker on the back, the sign dates back to when 135th was K-150. 19 April 2014
The north end of the 18th Street expressway dumps into the eponymous 18th Street. The first Big green sign for the I-70 cloverleaf only features I-70 shields. The markers for US 69, US 24, and US 40 are relegated to a supplemental plate. 25 June 2014
