MO-70 ( The Great River Road), use to travel through each small town located near the Mississippi River, But today, some town got new sections of highway that bypass the town itself, like interstate highways, and this town is one of them. MP-79 loops around the town and the old highway is shut down. You cannot enter this town from the south because they closed the road.
