Butler County, Missouri (view source)

Several major highways pass through the county, the most important being U.S. Route 60, which enters from the northwest, runs southeast to Poplar Bluff, and then due east to the St. Francis; and U.S. Route 67, which runs more or less north to south. Both highways meet in Poplar Bluff, where U.S. Route 160, entering the county from the southwest, also has its eastern terminus. Secondary state roads in the county include Missouri State Highways 51, 53, and 142. There are plans to extend Interstate 57 into and through Butler County along the Route 60 and 67 corridors, but no concrete steps are expected to occur any time soon.<ref>https://www.kasu.org/post/arkansas-has-lot-work-do-bring-future-i-57-missouri-line</ref>
