==Route description== {{expand-section|date=November 2014}}<!--most of this section is about it's length compared to other beltways and its exit numbering, and none of it is about the route it takes around the metro area, the landscapes through which is passes, etc. That's what needs to be added to counterbalance the trivia. --> [[File:Interstate 435 over Missouri River.jpg|thumb|left|I-435 crossing the Missouri River into Kansas from Missouri]] I-435, a loop route of [[Interstate 35|I-35]], is {{convert|83.02|mi|km}} long and intersects with nearly every other Interstate Highway in the Kansas City area (except for [[Interstate 635 (Kansas-Missouri)|I-635]] and [[Interstate 670 (Kansas-Missouri)|I-670]]). An additional {{convert|2.8|mi|km}} near [[Kansas City International Airport]] is signed along with [[Interstate 29 in Missouri|I-29]] and [[U.S. Route 71 in Missouri|U.S. Route 71]] (US 71), making I-435 the second-longest complete beltway numbered as a single Interstate Highway in the US and seventh longest in the world after [[Interstate 275 (Ohio–Indiana–Kentucky)|I-275]] in [[Cincinnati, Ohio]], at {{convert|83.71|mi|km}}; [[Beltway 8]] in [[Houston, Texas]], at {{convert|88|mi|km}}; [[Bundesautobahn 10]] in [[Berlin]] at {{convert|122|mi|km}}; and [[M25 motorway]] in [[London]] at {{convert|117|mi|km}}; as well as 7th and 8th ring roads in [[Beijing]].{{citation needed|date=November 2014}} The majority—{{convert|52.8|mi|km}}—of I-435 is within the state of Missouri, and most of that roadway lies within the city limits of Kansas City. The first/last exit is at I-435's parent route, I-35, in [[Lenexa, Kansas]]. Going clockwise around Kansas City, the next interchange is exit 1A for Lackman Road. The milepost numbers do not start over when I-435 crosses the state line, but where it shares the same roadway as I-29, the latter's milepost (and therefore exit) numbering takes precedence. The section of I-435 from mile marker 63.4 to mile marker 54.2 is designated as the '''Lamar Hunt Memorial Highway''' in honor of [[Lamar Hunt]], the founder of the [[Kansas City Chiefs]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://casetext.com/statute/missouri-revised-statutes/title-xiv-roads-and-waterways/chapter-227-state-highway-system/memorial-highways-and-named-areas/section-227407-lamar-hunt-memorial-highway-designated-for-portion-of-interstate-435 |title=Section 227.407 - Lamar Hunt Memorial Highway designated for portion of Interstate 435 |access-date=February 16, 2024}}</ref> This section of the highway passes near [[Arrowhead Stadium]], the Chiefs' home stadium.
