History
Grand Central Parkway's first section, built from Fifth Avenue north to Eleventh Avenue over the right-of way of the existing Cemetery Street, opened to traffic in the mid 1940s. Due to the proximity of Leawood Cemetery, the second section of Grand Central Parkway, opened in the late 1940s, was built on a new right-of-way between Eleventh and Seventeenth Avenues. The the most recent section, north of Seventeenth Avenue, follows the right-of-way of the existing Parker Avenue and was not opened until 1960.
