Road Condition
For the Missouri portion of the highway, MoDot is working on upgrading to a four-lane divided highway across the state by 2011. Presently, it is 4 lanes between the Missouri River and the Linn County, Missouri/Macon County, Missouri line. There is ongoing road construction on the 8 miles between the Linn County, Missouri/Macon County, Missouri line and Callao, Missouri that when finished will have a 4 lane highway running from Macon, Missouri to St. Joseph, Missouri.
With the passage of Proposition 36B, the US-36/I-72 Corridor Transporation District was created to help fund construction to convert the remaining 52 miles of 2-lane highway between Macon, Missouri and the Rocket Junction 7 miles west of Hannibal, Missouri by December 31, 2010. East of the Rocket Junction, US 36 is a 4-lane highway to US 61, where I-72 takes over the alignment.
