At a Dec. 12 ceremony, transportation officials celebrated the opening of a new stretch of Interstate 49.For those along its path, I-49 is far more than a road between Kansas City and the Joplin area. They say the newly christened interstate will be a driver of commercial development and trade that enhances Kansas City’s historic role as a transportation hub.
The Missouri stretch of I-49 joins another portion in Louisiana. Once Arkansas fills the gap, drivers will be able to go from New Orleans to Kansas City, then catch Interstate 29 to Winnipeg, Canada.
