Re: Why didn't US 71 get a corresponding Interstate route?

I dare anyone to drive MO 6 from
Kirksville to Milan sometime. That road will jar any vehicle and is
in serious need of a rebuild. They even patched one bridge of 1950s
vintage with, get this, steel plate! The roads in that part of MO
might be smoother after a terrorist attack or nuke blast.


How long has that steel plate been there? Sometimes they do that in the city if they are doing underground utility work and know they will have to go back in to complete it in a few months. During the Shrewsbury Metrolink project there was metal plate all the way across Skinker for like 2 years.
