U.S. Route 71 Business (Joplin, Missouri)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Business US Highway 71 is an alternate alignment of U.S. Highway 71 which begins at a junction of U.S. Highway 71, Route 96, Route 171, and Route 571 in Carthage, Missouri. Its southern end is at the junction of US 71 and Route 175 about midway between Joplin and Neosho at Tipton Ford.
This particular section of Business US 71 is a relatively long one, and begins its existence as a freeway, finally becoming a non-freeway divided highway at Webb City. It is a major boulevard in Joplin where it is known as Rangeline Road, then continues south of Interstate 44 until it ends at US 71. The road was an earlier alignment of US 71 until the newer freeway was built to carry the road to the east of Joplin. At one point, Missouri 175 had been labeled Business US 71 and the road continued on as Business 71 in Neosho.
