This page has become a list of ALL types of highways in Missouri, not just state highways, therefore I moved it to the current site.

[edit] List into tables

I changed the long list of current state routes into two tables. I used two tables because above about 200, the list is pretty sparse. It will not break my heart at all if this change is reverted. 70.185.217.138 06:26, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
