I live very close to US Highway 24. Kansas City is unique that is has many US Highways that run through it or near it. Actually both Kansas and Missouri have many roads that run a thousand miles or more from one end to the other. The US Highway system was established in 1926 and many of the original roads in that system still exist. Here's a list of US Highway that cross Missouri or Kansas (or both); how long they are and where they begin and end. A couple run from Mexico to Canada!
