- Has over 32,318 miles of roads crisscrossing the state;
- Has 17 routes that are designated as “interstate roads” running almost 1,180 miles;
- Interstate highways (only 4 percent of the roads) handle 38 percent of its road traffic.
The main Highways which run through the State are:
- I-70 – As mentioned runs east to west from the Illinois border to the Kansas Border.
- I-29 and I-35 – Cut through the northern-western corner of the state;
- I-44 – Is a key corridor running from St. Louis down to Oklahoma;
- I-55 – Follows the eastern edge of the state from Arkansas to St. Louis.
Of course, there are numerous other routes, both state, and interstate. Not to mention all the country roads. But the ones listed above are the main veins of Missouri.
These roads allow the transportation of goods and services from one side of the nation to get to the other. If you are planning on running Missouri roads you might want to look at the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT).
On their site, they offer some great information regarding the weights, permits, and other requirements and regulations for Missouri.
So without delay, to not bore you with all these details about Missouri, let me go back to the list that I’ve put together with trucking companies in Missouri. Hope you find it helpful!
