Route description
Route 759 begins at an intersection with Southwest Lower Lake Road and Packers Avenue in the stockyards section of St. Joseph. The route heads to the northeast as a divided arterial boulevard known as the Stockyards Expressway, paralleling two large rail yards through a large industrial portion of the city. After the intersection with West Florence Road, Route 759 changes monikers from Stockyards Expressway to South Second Street. At that point, the route makes a gradual bend to the north along with the nearby Missouri River, becoming Stockyards Expressway once again as it parallels I-229 and US 59. The route then enters an interchange with US 36, which crosses the Missouri River nearby. After the interchange, Route 759 becomes a highway ramp and merges into I-229 northbound and its parent US 59. The designation of Route 759 terminates at the merge near downtown Saint Joseph.[2]
