History
Around 1932, Routes C and K were designated along gravel roads in the Missouri Bootheel. Route C connected from Route 25 in Clarkton to Gideon, while Route K was from Portageville to near the Mississippi River.[2][3] Route K was extended southeastward one year later, intersecting the newly designated Route M.[3][4] Route C was extended east of Gideon in 1935,[5][6] and its section from Clarkton to Gideon was paved one year later.[6][7] The section of Route C east of Gideon was paved by 1949,[8][9] and the route was extended eastward by 1953. Route K was also paved during that time.[9][10] By 1954, Route C was extended along a gravel road to Portageville, connecting with US 61 and Route K.[10][11] In 1956, Route 162 was designated, replacing Routes C and K.[12] The remaining gravel section and was paved that year.[13][14] An interchange was being built during 1967,[15] and it was completed by 1968.[16][17]
