Interstate 470 (I-470) is a 13.72-mile (22.08 km) loop highway that bypasses the downtown area of Topeka, Kansas . I-470 begins at I-70 in western Topeka and heads southeast, running concurrent with U.S. Route 75 (US 75). At the I-470 junction with I-335, the freeway becomes part of the Kansas Turnpike until I-470 reaches its eastern terminus with I-70. The Kansas Turnpike was opened in the 1950s, comprising the eastern portion of the route. Several years later, in the early 1960s, the western section of I-470 was opened to traffic.

Famous quotes containing the word interstate:
“At bottom, I mean profoundly at bottom, the FBI has nothing to do with Communism, it has nothing to do with catching criminals, it has nothing to do with the Mafia, the syndicate, it has nothing to do with trust-busting, it has nothing to do with interstate commerce, it has nothing to do with anything but serving as a church for the mediocre. A high church for the true mediocre.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
