OKRoads.com -- Missouri Highway Guides -- Interstate 229

Interstate 229 connects to Interstate 29 at both ends. In between, the highway spans 14 miles and provides access to St. Joseph's business district. The interstate has a double-decker section squeezed between the Missouri River and Downtown St. Joseph. In this section, the northbound lanes are on top while the southbound lanes run underneath. Interstate 229 has two lanes in each direction throughout its route.
