Route Description

Beginning at the Missouri River, Route 9 travels north through the west side of North Kansas City as a six-lane surface street. As it enters Kansas City, it splits off Route 283, which continues northward, while Route 9 traverses northwesterly. It then intersects US-169 and immediately after entering Riverside, it junctions with I-635 and US-69 and then continues west-northwest. It then enters Parkville and turns northward as it travels through downtown and past the Riss Lake neighborhood to Route 45. From Route 45, it exits Parkville and reenters Kansas City traveling northeast past the Royal Oaks North neighborhood. Then it turns north, passing on the west side of Platte Woods and the east side of Park Forest and Platte Ridge and then arrives at its northern terminus where it junctions with Northwest Barry Road and I-29.
