Route 224 is a highway in western Missouri. Its eastern terminus is at U.S. Route 24 near Lexington; its western terminus is at US 24 west of Napoleon. It follows the Missouri River and is prone to flooding.
History
[edit]Before 1959, U.S. Route 24 used to travel through Napoleon and Lexington.[3] A bypass was finished in 1959 which caused US 24 to reroute onto the bypass. This resulted in the creation of US 24 Business.[4] It remained like that until 1969 when the business route was removed. This led to the creation of Route 224 and still remains like this to this day.[1]
Major intersections
[edit]The entire route is in Lafayette County.
