[edit] Former routes
[edit] Joplin alternate
 U.S. Route 71 Alternate |
|
|---|---|
| Location | Joplin, Missouri |
Alternate US 71 was a former bannered highway which provided an alternate route for US 71 between Carthage, Missouri and Neosho, Missouri, bypassing Joplin, Missouri. Both endpoints were junctions with US 71. This section of road from Fidelity to Carthage was originally Route 38, renumbered Route 38N in about 1930.
At Carthage, Alternate 71 followed what is currently Route 571 to US 71 at what is now the intersection of Route 96/571. When the freeway was built around Carthage, it ended at that the current exit of 71 at Route 96/571 & Business 71.
In 1999, the Alternate 71 designation was deleted. The section north of Interstate 44 at Fidelity was redesignated US 71, with the former US 71 being designated Business 71. South of Interstate 44, it continues as Route 59 to U.S. Route 60. From there it followed US 60 to Neosho. Other than its endpoints, only two towns were located on the former highway: Fidelity, Missouri and Diamond, Missouri.
The road was originally assigned at Optional US 71 in 1932 and changed to Alternate US 71 in 1935.
