Missouri Route 96
Route 96 is a state highway running between Interstate 44 at Halltown and Route 171 near Carl Junction. A large section of the highway between Halltown and Carthage served as U.S. Route 66 and is currently marked as Historic Route 66.
The road was numbered due to its being an extension of K-96 and its eastern terminus was in Carthage. When US 66 was deleted east of Joplin, Route 96 was extended to cover US 66. Route 96 was turned into Route YY west of Route 171 when Kansas deleted the eastern part of K-96.
