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.
