Interstate 29
Kansas City, MO to Pembina, ND
I-29 runs approximately 751 miles from Kansas City north through St. Joseph, Sioux City, Sioux Falls, and Fargo to the Canadian border at Pembina, North Dakota. It is the primary north-south freight corridor for the eastern Great Plains, carrying massive volumes of grain, agricultural commodities, and consumer goods between the Canadian Prairies and the US Midwest. Spring flooding along the Missouri River and Red River valleys can close segments for extended periods, while severe winter blizzards frequently shut the corridor between Fargo and Pembina.
