state highway in Missouri, United States
Route 152 is a state highway in the northern Kansas City metropolitan area. It begins at Interstate 435 south of the Kansas City International Airport and ends at Route 291 in Liberty.

History
The original route, established in 1827, was called "Military Road" and connected the Liberty Arsenal with Fort Leavenworth. In the North Kansas City area, Military Road was renamed Barry Road in 1829 after the newly established town of Barry, which in turn is named after the postmaster-general William Taylor Barry. The road remained marked Highway 152. A short extension of Barry Road, identified as Highway 152, was created between 1980 and 1982. Proper construction of Highway 152 did not continue until 1990. Barry Road, the original Highway 152, runs parallel to the current Highway 152 on its south side on the west side and parallel to 152 on the north side in the eastern portions.

Why this record matters
The phrase “state highway in Missouri, United States” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2485415. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1827, 1829, 1980 and 1982.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
