This should probably be merged into Interstate 72, with the future information going into U.S. Route 36 in Missouri. US 36 will not be a freeway, and thus I-72 will continue to have only four miles in Missouri. --NE2 14:47, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The current project won't include upgrading to a freeway, but I believe there are long-term plans for this. (I have no cites for that, but I believe that to be the case). The high exit numbering on I-72 in Hannibal has apparently been computed from the US 36/I-35 jct in Cameron, which supports this. I would recommend doing more in-depth research before performing any merges. —Scott5114 17:10, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like you're right: [1]
"The subject of this VE study is the Rte 36 corridor from Macon to east of Monroe City in northeast Missouri. Rte 36 is on the National Highway System and is proposed to be future I-72. The scope of the project is to upgrade the existing 2 lane to a 4 lane expressway. Right of Way for freeway will be acquired as part of this project."
I'm still not convinced though that we should keep an article based on what might be; MoDOT isn't calling it I-72 in any of their news releases. --NE2 19:27, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't believe that this article should be merged. The article contains plenty amount of information on here, although it does need an exit list.

Edit: already added an exit list.
