Best route from east to west thru KC on I-70 during week about noon time? Thanks
You can take 470 435 around the bottom but I usually cut right through the middle. Just take it easy and keep your eyes open.

We have found that by taking RT 36 we avoid the traffic in St Louis and Kansas City and travel at about the same speed, with less traffic and fewer trucks.
While I cant speak to Busskipper's route of 36 as I have not taken it I have found that barring rush hour and in fact even during rush hour just cutting through on 70 is the quickest, just watch the signs and make sure you are in the proper lane/s. In fact once you get into KC watch for the signs for 670 take that instead of 70 if you miss it no big deal 70 will get you to the same spot in a few miles but 670 cuts it down a bit if you look at a map you will see what I mean. 435 south to 470 to 70 is easy but it adds probably 20-25 miles and there was some major construction going on 435 back in November as well as some more on 470 which was causing backups even mid day (though that part may already be done) with some narrow lanes and rush hour is painful either way just longer on 435/470 route.
We run 36 a lot. Its a nice road. Way less traffic.

70 through kc around noon will be no big deal. There are a few fairly sharp bends just east of downtown that I always take way too fast but other than that the traffic should be smooth
