I dare anyone to drive MO 6 from

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.

EB US 50 through Lone Jack is awful. Unless it has been repaved in the last
few years.

I think it was, about 2-3 years ago IIRC

US 36 between Chillicothe and Brookfield is a real mess: extremely
rough pavement, and portions of the eastbound lanes at less than
standard width (still at the 1930s width). MoDOT has it in this
year's project list. Of the entire stretch of the I-72 corridor this
portion would be the most difficult and costly to convert.
