Travel Made Easy

As an everyday traveler, it’s important to know how to navigate your way through an area. This can be especially difficult if you’re traveling to a new place.

Columbia is centrally located within the state, and two major roadways — Interstate 70 and Highway 63 — divide the city. Because of these roadways, Columbia is one of the most accessible cities in Missouri. • I-70 travels straight through Columbia and heads west toward Boonville and Kansas City and east toward Kingdom City and St. Louis. • Highway 63 takes you straight through Columbia traveling north to the Moberly area and south to Ashland and Jefferson City.
