U.S. 56 traverses 610 rural miles along the old Sant Fe Trail before spending it's last 30 in the KC metro, finishing in the heart of the city itself. It's a road almost nobody would travel from end to end given the many shortcuts along the way, but it's a fun road to check out!

Control City Freak is updated weekly and covers every two digit Interstate Highway in America as well as other roads. I'll be showing control city signs on each 1 and 2 digit (2di) Interstate Highway in the continental United States and will strive to make as complete a record as possible, as well as various other highways. I'll also be getting into the roadgeek weeds here and there, showing downtown skylines and state border crossings, and making corny jokes. I welcome all to join my geeky tour of every primary Interstate in the country!
Thanks to everyone who requested a point of interest on US 56:
