Route 249 is a short, 4 lane freeway running from Business US 71 in Carterville and ending at Interstate 44 in Joplin. The route currently detours from its intended path at Zora Ave, between Joplin and Carterville, but the final segment is expected to open to traffic on October 6, 2008.
The road has been built as a freeway and could be a future part of Interstate 49 which has been proposed to run down the U.S. Route 71 corridor.
Route of the highway
The highway begins at an interchange near the city hall of Carterville in a concurrency with Route HH. After approximately 3/4 of a mile, it turns south in a concurrency with Route AA (Prosperity Road). Two miles further, it turns west on Route VV (Zora Road) for approximately 1/2 mile. All of these supplemental routes were in existence prior to Route 249 and Route 249 was routed with them as it was extended north. The road runs on a straight course south and has an interchange with Route 66/Business I-44 before reaching the interchange of Interstate 44/US 71 where the road ends.
