I am taking a trip down to Saint Robert Missouri next weekend From Sioux Falls South Dakota. I am looking for a good route to take down there.

There seems to be so many routes you can take. I am trying to avoid a bunch of traffic and turns if all possible.

Re: All You Missouri people

That way will definitely work, just be prepared for a lot of two lane highways once you get off of I-70. There's just really not a good, short way to get to St. Robert from where you're coming in from. It'd be a snap if you were headed in from St. Louis instead of the KC side.

Re: All You Missouri people

I see you are from springfield, Are these roads pretty popular? What kinda speed limits do they have? I am going to Saint Robert for a Air Force graduation. Do you get to saint Robert much? Thanks for the info!!

Re: All You Missouri people

The only time I go there is driving through it on I-44 on my way to St. Louis. Once you get off of I-70 I would expect speed limits probably not above 60, possibly 55.

Re: All You Missouri people

The route you have chosen seems to be about the most direct possible. MO-17 is a scenic road with some neat vistas. Just watch your speed and you will be fine. Enjoy your trip to Missouri!

Re: All You Missouri people

That route looks pretty good. I live near that I-70 exit. What time? If on Friday between 4:00 and 6:30PM local time the exit is stop and go.
On Saturday it should be wide open.

I-70 to Marshall is 70 MPH after Blue Springs. 65 South is a pretty good road the last time I was on it.
Enjoy your trip!

Re: All You Missouri people

We are actually leaving Sioux Falls at 7 A.m Thursday morning. Its about 350 miles before we hit I-70 so, I am guessing we would hit that in the later part of the afternoon? Doing a little research, The internet tells us its about an 9 hour drive.. Now if thats real close or not. Im not sure. The total miles of the trip to our hotel is 560 miles. I am sure hoping we are in Saint Roberts by 4-5ish. Enough to grab some supper and a few ice cold ones after a long day of driving!

Re: All You Missouri people

You may hit that exit at rush hour but one can be lucky. A good station for info is KMBZ 980 AM.
