US 71 Sign Goof in McDonald County

Missouri 71 for US 71 near the Arkansas line Missouri 71 for US 71 near the Arkansas line

They're upgrading the road, but not really changing the designation on US 71 just north of the Arkansas state line in McDonald County. During the upgrade of the road to four lanes, these new markers were installed. They're even the "pointy" style markers often used on freeways and at interchanges.

Both views, northbound (upper left) and southbound (lower left), are at the US 71 intersection with Route OO south of Jane, just a mile north of the Arkansas state line.

The highway upgrade will eventually provide a four-lane route on US 71 from Anderson to the Arkansas state line.
