===Missouri===
{{main|Interstate 29 in Missouri}}
Near its southern terminus, I-29 is concurrent with I-35 and [[U.S. Route 71 in Missouri|U.S. Route&nbsp;71]] (US&nbsp;71). The Interstate diverts from US&nbsp;71 just north of St. Joseph and follows a sparsely populated corridor along the [[Missouri River]] to Council Bluffs. During the design phase there was an alternative sending the route further along US&nbsp;71 through the bigger towns of [[Maryville, Missouri]], and [[Clarinda, Iowa]]. During the [[Great Flood of 1993]], the Missouri River flooded this section and traffic was rerouted to US&nbsp;71 through Maryville and Clarinda. I-29 was closed again for about two months during the [[2011 Missouri River Flood]].

Almost all of I-29 in Missouri is in an area called the [[Platte Purchase]] that was not originally part of Missouri when it entered the Union.

===Iowa===

I-29 begins in Iowa near [[Hamburg, Iowa|Hamburg]]. It goes northwest to an interchange with [[Iowa Highway 2]] (Iowa&nbsp;2), then goes north until [[Council Bluffs, Iowa|Council Bluffs]]. It appears to briefly runs concurrent with [[Interstate 80 in Iowa|I-80]], but I-29 actually runs outside I-80 until the two separate less than {{Convert|1|mi|km|spell=in}} east of [[Omaha, Nebraska]], to follow the Missouri River north, winding its way along the western and northern edges of Council Bluffs. North of Council Bluffs, I-29 intersects [[Interstate 680 (Nebraska–Iowa)|I-680]] at exit&nbsp;61. At exit&nbsp;71, [[Interstate 880 (Iowa)|I-880]] begins, while I-29 continues on a northwesterly path toward [[Sioux City, Iowa|Sioux City]]. At Sioux City, [[Interstate 129|I-129]] spurs off of I-29 to go west toward [[South Sioux City, Nebraska]]. After continuing toward downtown Sioux City on a northerly route, I-29 turns west and enters South Dakota.

All of I-29 through Iowa is part of the [[Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail|Lewis and Clark Trail]].

===South Dakota===
{{main|Interstate 29 in South Dakota}}
I-29 enters South Dakota at [[North Sioux City, South Dakota|North Sioux City]] by crossing over the [[Big Sioux River]]. It runs northwest until its interchange with [[South Dakota Highway 50|Highway&nbsp;50]] (SD&nbsp;50) near [[Vermillion, South Dakota|Vermillion]], where it turns north. The highway alignment is due north until just before [[Sioux Falls, South Dakota|Sioux Falls]]. In the Sioux Falls area, I-29 serves the western part of Sioux Falls while [[Interstate 229 (South Dakota)|I-229]] spurs off and serves eastern Sioux Falls. In northwestern Sioux Falls, I-29 meets [[Interstate 90 in South Dakota|I-90]]. After that, it continues north past [[Brookings, South Dakota|Brookings]] and an intersection with [[U.S. Route 14 in South Dakota|US&nbsp;14]]. At the intersection with [[South Dakota Highway 28|SD&nbsp;28]], I-29 turns northwest toward [[Watertown, South Dakota|Watertown]]. After Watertown, the highway continues north and passes an intersection with [[U.S. Route 12 in South Dakota|US&nbsp;12]] before continuing into [[North Dakota]].

===North Dakota===
{{main|Interstate 29 in North Dakota}}
I-29 enters North Dakota from the south near [[Hankinson, North Dakota|Hankinson]]. At Fargo, it meets [[Interstate 94 in North Dakota|I-94]]/[[U.S. Route 52 in North Dakota|US&nbsp;52]] and continues north along the [[Red River of the North|Red River]] toward [[Grand Forks, North Dakota|Grand Forks]]. At its northern terminus, I-29 enters [[Canada]] and becomes [[Manitoba Highway 75|PTH&nbsp;75]] in [[Manitoba]], which leads to [[Winnipeg]].
