Route 162 is a state highway in the

boat ramp near the Mississippi River
.

The route was designated in 1956 to replace two

supplemental routes
that extended from Clarkton to Portageville. The route was fully paved in the same year, and an interchange was built at I-55 by 1967.

Route description

In 2015, Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) calculated as many as 1,888 vehicles traveling on Route 162 west of Route 153, and as few as 252 vehicles traveling east of Route M. This is expressed in terms of annual average daily traffic (AADT), a measure of traffic volume for any average day of the year.[2]

The route is located in

US 61
at a T-intersection and becomes concurrent. Both US 61 and Route 162 travel southwestward until the road reaches Main Street. At this point, US 61 and Route 162 travel eastward and crosses over the Portage Bayou, while Route T begins travelling southward. Just outside of Portageville, the road meets
boat ramp near the river.[1]

History

Around 1932, Routes C and K were designated along

gravel roads in the Missouri Bootheel. Route C connected from Route 25 in Clarkton to Gideon, while Route K was from Portageville to near the Mississippi River.[4][5] Route K was extended southeastward one year later, intersecting the newly designated Route M.[5][6] Route C was extended east of Gideon in 1935,[7][8] and its section from Clarkton to Gideon was paved one year later.[8][9] The section of Route C east of Gideon was paved by 1949,[10][11] and the route was extended eastward by 1953. Route K was also paved during that time.[11][12] By 1954, Route C was extended along a gravel road to Portageville, connecting with US 61 and Route K.[12][13] In 1956, Route 162 was designated, replacing Routes C and K.[14] The remaining gravel section and was paved that year.[15][16] An interchange at I-55 was being built during 1967,[17] and it was completed later that year.[18] The project was part of the I-55 extension from New Madrid to Portageville, with a total cost of $6,375,556 in 1966.[19]
