I-435 is a beltway that loops around the Kansas City metropolitan area in both Kansas and Missouri. I-435 continues its now-eastward journey from I-35 towards the Missouri state line while traversing through the sprawling suburbs of Lenexa, Overland Park, and Leawood. From I-35 to Missouri, US 50 joins this route in its entirety.

Immediately passing under I-35 causes I-435 to enter Overland Park from Lenexa. It's a major arterial through this area with a wide roadway and many exits that allow local access.
The first exit is for Quivira Road, which leads to the Lake Quivira area near Shawnee. Following this is US 69, which is a major expressway that runs north-south through Overland Park.

From here, we approach State Line Road and Kansas City, MO. I tried to get some better quality pictures, but traffic, rain, and wayfinding took priority - I didn't even get the Missouri welcome sign unfortunately. Just means I'll have to go back :)
