Route 43 is a highway in western Missouri. Its northern terminus is at U.S. Route 54 midway between Nevada and Deerfield.

Route description

North of Joplin, Route 43 is a relatively straight highway. It intersects U.S. Route 160 in Barton County west of Lamar. A few miles south of there it intersects Route 126. Just north of Joplin, it intersects Route 96.

In Joplin, the highway is known as Main Street and passes through the old historic downtown area. For a few blocks, it is historic US Route 66 until it reaches Seventh Street (Route 66), where Route 66 goes west. It joins Business Loop I-44 until it reaches Interstate 44, then joins this road for one exit west, then turns south again.

When Route 43 reaches Seneca (where it has a junction with U.S. Route 60), it comes within a half mile of Oklahoma and stays relatively close to it all the way to the intersection with Route 76 east of Tiff City. All through this area, the highway becomes more hilly and curvy. The road serves as the western terminus of Route 90 just before reaching Southwest City. South of Southwest City, the highway runs less than a mile before reaching the corner of Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma becoming the concurrency of Arkansas Highway 43/Oklahoma State Highway 20. A stone marker is erected at the corner of the three states.

Arkansas Highway 43

Highway 43 (AR 43, Ark. 43, and Hwy. 43) is a designation for three north–south state highways in northwest Arkansas.

A second segment of 20.0 miles (32.2 km) runs northeast from Highway 21 at Boxley to Highway 7 in Harrison. The third segment runs 1.8 miles (2.9 km) north in Harrison from US Route 65 (US 65) to Highway 7 .

Siloam Springs to Oklahoma

The route begins at AR 59 in Siloam Springs and runs west to intersect AR 264. The route continues west before turning north and running close to the Oklahoma state line. AR 43 runs through Cherokee City before meeting AR 102 and later AR 72 in Maysville.

After Maysville, AR 43 runs along the Oklahoma state line concurrent with Oklahoma State Highway 20. This continues for approximately 5.4 miles (8.7 km) until both routes terminate at Missouri Route 43.
