Route description

Route 116 junction with Route 371 two miles east of Wallace, MO

Rushville to Plattsburg

The western terminus of Route 116 is at US 59 at Rushville in Buchanan County. The highway travels easterly through the village, then meets a T-intersection with Route HH and turns south. It then turns east again after an intersection with Route M and continues for 3.5 miles. After another turn north, it junctions with Route HH and continues east-southeast to where it reaches Wallace just past Route V. From Wallace, it is 2 miles east to Route 371 and another mile to I-29, where it crosses, but it does not have any direct interchange with it. It intersects with Route Y, and it heads south on a concurrency with it, and then heads to the east again to the north of Dearborn. After another 11 miles east, where it crosses into Clinton County, it has an intersection with US 169. Route 116 continues another 6 miles to where it reaches Plattsburg.

Plattsburg to Braymer

Junction between Missouri Route 33 and Route 116 east of Plattsburg, facing east.

In Plattsburg, Route 116 intersects Route C and crosses the Little Platte River, then it jolts northeast 1 mile as it leaves town before traveling another mile to its junction with Route 33. The route is concurrent with Route 33 for 5 miles until it reaches the town of Lathrop where Route 116 diverges, continuing east, at the junction with Route A. Route 116 then travels 3 miles east, passing south of Lake McGinness, and has an interchange with I-35 at Exit 40. About 2 miles east, there is a roundabout with US 69 near the Clinton- Caldwell border. From the county border, there are two junctions with Route D and Route T as it travels 9 miles east to reach Polo. In Polo, it intersects with Route 13 and runs concurrent for 1 mile north before diverging east. From there, Route 116 travels 6 miles to its junction with Route B, just north of Cowgill. Then, the highway travels east-northeast to Braymer for 7 miles before meeting its eastern terminus at Route A in southeast Caldwell County.

History

Route 116 from Plattsburg to U.S. Route 169 was originally part of Route 33 until that highway was re-routed in 1934. ^[2]
