U.S. Route 66 Business (Joplin, Missouri)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Business US 66 in Joplin, Missouri was a business route of U.S. Highway 66 and was the former alignment of the main road. It was created when the main route was moved to the bypass route of the highway. The road followed the now historic alignment of the highway (Zora Street, Florida Avenue, Utica Street, Euclid Street, St. Louis Avenue, Broadway, and Main Avenue), all of which (except Main) are now city streets. Main Avenue is part of Route 43. This road would later serve as part of U.S. Highway 71 Business (Joplin), but this road no longer serves that path.
