Business Loop I-55 - Cape Girardeau-Jackson

Business Loop I-55U.S. 61Missouri Route 34

Business Loop I-55 follows U.S. 61 (Kingshighway) north through Cape Girardeau between Exits 93 B and 99. The route combines with Missouri Route 34 north from Shawnee Parkway through a retail strip to Osage Park and the Jackson city line at Interstate 55. This Cape Girardeau business loop ended there until 1994, when the Jackson business loop was signed.

Continuing north from Exit 99 alongside both U.S. 61 and Missouri Route 34, Business Loop I-55 follows Jackson Boulevard to Hope Street. Hope Street turns the route north into Downtown Jackson as Route 34 combines with the beginning of Route 72 west. U.S. 61 and Business Loop I-55 take Hope Street north to Washington Street west and High Street north from central Jackson to Rotary Lake Park. The pair exit Jackson parallel to Hubble Creek and return to I-55 at a diamond interchange (Exit 105). This Business Loop for I-55 is 15.79 miles in length.
