In the U.S. state of Missouri, U.S. Route 50 is a major east-west route.
US 50 enters Missouri from Kansas along Interstate 435 around Kansas City and then it runs concurrently with Interstate 470 to Lee's Summit. It then heads to Jefferson City, where it is merged with U.S. Route 63 between downtown and the eastern end of the city. At Union, US 50 is routed along Interstate 44 up to Sunset Hills, then it heads east and merges with U.S. Route 61 and U.S. Route 67. These three concurrent U.S. routes stay this way until after the interchange with Interstate 55, then 61 and 67 split off, leaving 50 to merge with Interstate 255 to cross the Mississippi River via the Jefferson Barracks Bridge in St. Louis.
Until 1926, US 50 in Missouri was Route 12.[2]
