Route 240 is a highway in the central part of Missouri. Its eastern terminus is at U.S. Route 40 about two miles (3 km) west of Columbia; its western terminus is at U.S. Route 65 in Marshall. Spur Route 240 connects the road with Rocheport.
From 1922 until 1926, Route 240 from Rocheport to Fayette was Route 67. It was renumbered Route 3 in 1926; that route has since been extended north and truncated, leaving Route 240 behind.

Length | 0.789 mi[1] (1,270 m) |
Alternate Route 240 in rural Howard County is technically a spur route that provides easy access from eastbound Route 240 to westbound U.S. Route 40, and vice versa, utilizing an old alignment of U.S. Route 40. The route runs northeast from U.S. Route 40 at the southeastern edge of the Davidsdale Conservation Area, then passes through some farmland. After running along the northwestern edge of a small pond, it intersects Howard County Road 435A, and immediately the shared intersection of Howard County Roads 442 and 435. Before reaching its northeastern terminus, the road curves east, where a connecting road leads to westbound Route 240, while the existing road curves to the southeast and ends at eastbound Route 240.
