[edit] Notes

I-635 has seen a large amount of construction recently. Projects to reconstruct the interchange with I-70 and the bridge over the Santa Fe Railyard in Argentine have wrapped up recently. Maintenance work on the bridge over the Missouri River finished in September 2005.
In Kansas and Missouri, the road has signs identifying it as the Harry Darby Memorial Highway, after a U.S. Senator from Kansas.
The freeway's southern terminus is at a stack interchange with I-35. South of this, the mainline becomes an expressway carrying U.S. 69 (further south, U.S. 169, Metcalf Avenue.
Like Interstate 435, I-635's mileposts do not reset after crossing into Missouri.
At one point during planning of Interstate 635, it was to be built into and through the Fairfax Area and cross the Fairfax Bridge and the Platte Purchase Toll Bridge in Kansas City, KS. However, I-635 didn't use this route and by pass the Fairfax Area just to the North into Riverside, MO. However part of the originally proposed alignment was built as a Spur going into Fairfax as K-5 Highway. ^[2]
