The former Grandview Triangle (informally called The Triangle) is a freeway interchange in south Kansas City, Missouri that was once considered one of Missouri's most congested locations. However, after several years of reconstruction, the interchange itself is largely congestion free (although the freeways approaching the interchange remain heavily travelled). Local officials held an unveiling of a green highway sign with a new ceremonial name - the 3-Trails Crossing Memorial Highway (informally called Three Trails) - on October 3, 2006. The new name refers to the Santa Fe, Oregon and California Trails that cross there.

Three Trails Crossing is a major interchange of 3 major highways in the Kansas City area, I-435, I-470, and US 71. The interchange is currently under reconstruction to ease traffic delays and is scheduled for completion in 2008. [ [http://www.kmbc.com/news/14858009/detail.html KMB News] ]

US 71 is a major traffic corridor from the suburbs in south Jackson County, Missouri and Cass County, Missouri into Downtown Kansas City and is the alignment I-49 will follow in the future.Fact|date=January 2008 I-435 is a beltway around the Kansas City Metropolitan Area. I-470 is a major traffic corridor that connects Southern Kansas City to the suburbs of Eastern Jackson County, mainly Lee's Summit, Missouri. The Triangle currently handles approximately 250,000 vehicles per day. Once the reconstruction is completed, it will be able to accommodate more than 400,000 vehicles per day. As of January 2008, it was announced that it had been completed, although work continues on Red Bridge Road overpass.
