Route 283 was a short highway in the Kansas City, Missouri regional area.

North of Northwest 32nd, Route 283's four lanes came back together and bent northward over a creek as it entered Water Works Park along the southbound side.

The route headed due north, becoming commercial northbound and residential southbound.

This changed to a long commercial district in Kansas City before intersecting with Northeast Briarcliff Road/Northeast 42nd Street.

At that point, the four-lane highway returned to a mixed residential/business stretch until Northeast 46th Street.
