Additional Note: Two more exits are in the works/plans in Lee's Summit, Missouri. The first one is just beginning construction, at mile post 7, just west of Exit 7A , where Prior Road will cross over the Interstate. In addition, "flyover bridges" will be constructed over Route 350, and connect to Blue Parkway. The second exit/interchange will be at mile post 11 at Strother Rd. Bridges will be built on I-470, over Strother Road, when it is extended to the east. The date for this start is unknown at this time, but perhaps in 2010.
