Route description

In the west, Route 150 begins as it crosses from Kansas into Missouri. The highway initially heads southeastward, but soon turns towards the east and passes along the northern boundary of the former Richards-Gebaur Air Force Base. It has an interchange with US 71 and takes on the name East 147th Street. Continuing east, it then transitions into East Outer Belt Road before meeting an interchange with Route 291. Route 150 bypasses the James A. Reed Memorial Wildlife Area to the south, and its local name changes several times. East of Greenwood, it has a short concurrency with Route 7. The roughly half-mile south–north concurrency ends when Route 150 bears east through rural land. It turns due north on South Bynum Road once in Lone Jack and eventually terminates at US 50.[1]

History

Modern-day Route 150 was once a Missouri supplemental route.[2] The current designation was assigned in its entirety by 1949.[3] Route 150 is currently planned to undergo an improvement project, including reconstruction of the US 71 interchange and widening. The three-phase project is expected to begin in the summer of 2010.[4]
