The Missouri State Route 32 crosses the US -amerikanischen State Missouri from east to west. Its eastern end is at the confluence with US Highway 61 in Sainte Genevieve on the Mississippi . The western terminus forms the inlet to the US Highway 54 in around 180 km southeast of Kansas City located El Dorado Springs . The road is one of the longest state routes in Missouri at 459 km (285 mi) . East of Lebanon is the road by crossing the Ozark Plateau very mountainous and winding.

Route 32 is one of the traffic routes originally established in 1922. It originally ran from Licking to Flat River , which is now part of Park Hills . Other parts of today's Route 32 were still part of Route 66 , Missouri State Route 13, and Route 13 . These were assigned to Route 32 as a result of a restructuring in the 1930s and so the road now began in Sainte Genevieve. In 1935 it was extended to the west to El Dorado Springs.
