Texas Throughout Texas, US 67 runs in a primarily northeast–southwest manner, apparently violating the norms for numbering U.S. highways as odd-numbered routes are typically north–south in orientation, because prevailing north–south versus prevailing east–west designation is determined by the ultimate termini as the route traverses multiple states. US 67 is part of the
La Entrada al Pacifico international trade corridor from its southern terminus to an intersection with
U.S. Route 385 in
McCamey, where the corridor follows US 385 to
Odessa. Between Dallas and Weaver in eastern
Hopkins County, the highway runs
concurrently with
Interstate 30, and is unsigned between Dallas and
Royse City. From Weaver east to the Arkansas state line in
Texarkana, US 67 runs parallel to I-30. East of the
Interstate 35E/Interstate 30 "mixmaster" in
Downtown Dallas, U.S. Route 67 follows Interstate 30. West of the "mixmaster," U.S. 67 follows I-35E south through
Oak Cliff. Along this portion, the Route 67 shield is also alongside the Interstate shield. Just north of Kiest Boulevard, U.S. Route 67 breaks off from Interstate 35E and maintains controlled-access ("Interstate grade") status down to
Midlothian, where it becomes a four-lane divided highway to the western edge of
Cleburne. The route from
Alpine to
San Angelo was a previous route of
SH 99. Though it passes through the heart of
the Ozarks, the highest elevation along US 67 is the last 150 miles between
Fort Stockton and
Presidio. Below Fort Stockton, US 67 passes the Sierra Del Norte range at 6810 ft. West of Alpine, US 67 passes near the Twin Sisters (6116 and 6134 ft), Ranger Peak (6256 ft), and Paisano Peak (6091 ft) before going through Paisano Pass (5,180 ft). East of
Marfa are views of Twin Mountains (6681 and 6910 ft), Goat Mountain (6642 ft), Cathedral Peak (6867 ft), and Cienega Mountain (6565 ft). The Puertacitas Mountains (6350 ft) and the
Davis Mountains (8371 ft) can be seen from the
Marfa lights observatory to the north. The Davis Mountains are the highest elevation near US 67. Thirty miles south of Marfa, US 67 reaches its highest point at 5428 ft, with Chinatti Peak (7732 ft) seen to the southwest.
Arkansas In Arkansas, US 67 runs parallel with Interstate 30 from
Texarkana to
Benton, where it then runs concurrently with I-30 to
North Little Rock. It then runs concurrent with
Interstate 57 north to
US 412 in
Walnut Ridge, where I-57 and the freeway ends and the road becomes a five-lane undivided highway to
Pocahontas. After Pocahontas, the road returns to a two-lane alignment north to the state line. In 2009, a bill was introduced to rename the portion of US 67. The bill, by Rep. J.R. Rogers of Walnut Ridge, designates US 67 in Jackson, Lawrence, and Randolph Counties as "Rock 'n' Roll Highway 67." Besides
Elvis Presley and
Johnny Cash, the bill notes that
Roy Orbison,
Jerry Lee Lewis, and
Fats Domino played at clubs along that stretch of highway.
Missouri Going from south to north, US 67 enters
Missouri at the
Arkansas state line. About north of the state line, it intersects
US 160. At the southwest corner of
Poplar Bluff, Business Route 67 goes into Poplar Bluff while US 67 bypasses Poplar Bluff to the west on a freeway-grade highway. It then joins
US 60 at the northwest corner of Poplar Bluff. Both 60 and 67 then follow a four-lane route to an interchange about northwest of Poplar Bluff, where US 60 heads west toward
Springfield, while US 67 heads north to St. Louis. Construction is complete to divide the highway through Wayne, Madison, and Butler Counties, including bypasses around
Greenville and
Cherokee Pass. The new divided highway opened on August 19, 2011, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Additionally, MoDOT has extended the divided highway south to US 160 south of Poplar Bluff. From Fredericktown, US 67 passes through
Farmington, where an existing interchange with
Route 221 was converted to a
diverging diamond interchange in September 2012. US 67 then proceeds through
Park Hills,
Desloge, and
Bonne Terre. About north of Bonne Terre, US 67 crosses
Interstate 55 and enters
Festus and
Crystal City and picks up US 61. This becomes known as Truman Boulevard in Festus and Crystal City, Highway 61-67 from
Herculaneum to
Imperial, and Jeffco Boulevard from
Arnold until it exits
Jefferson County and enters
St. Louis County, over the Meramec River where it becomes Lemay Ferry Road. When US 67/61 reaches
St. Louis County, It travels Lemay Ferry Road (
Route 267) until it reaches
Lindbergh Boulevard. There, it overlaps Lindbergh Boulevard (known as Kirkwood Road in
Kirkwood). US 61 then turns west onto I-64/US 40 West towards Wentzville. Lindbergh, named for aviator
Charles Lindbergh, continues north through Frontenac, Ladue, Creve Coeur, Maryland Heights, Bridgeton, Hazelwood and
Florissant until it reaches Lewis & Clark Boulevard (
Route 367). From there, it continues straight north to
West Alton, Missouri and then crosses the
Mississippi River on the Clark Bridge and enters
Alton, Illinois. The only vehicular tunnel in Missouri is located on US 67 at
St. Louis Lambert International Airport, where the road tunnels under Runway 11/29.
Illinois In the state of
Illinois, US 67 runs north from the
Clark Bridge in
Alton, passing through
Jerseyville, then through the
Forgottonia region of western Illinois. It runs near the cities of
Jacksonville,
Beardstown, through
Macomb, and near
Monmouth before crossing into Iowa across the
Rock Island Centennial Bridge.
Iowa US 67 enters Iowa in
Davenport. It follows an alignment through
Bettendorf and
Clinton which parallels the Mississippi River. Near
Sabula, US 67 meets
U.S. Route 52 and
Iowa Highway 64 and ends. == Major intersections ==
