'''Route 32''' is a highway in [[Missouri]]. Its eastern terminus is at the [[Mississippi River]] near [[Ste. Genevieve, Missouri|Ste. Genevieve]]; its western terminus is at [[U.S. Route 54 (Missouri)|U.S. Route 54]] in [[El Dorado Springs, Missouri|El Dorado Springs]]. It is currently one of the longest highways in the state. Most of the highway east of [[Lebanon, MO|Lebanon]] is hilly and curvy, passing through a large part of the Missouri [[Ozarks]].
 
Route 32 is one of the original Missouri highways from 1922. It originally ran only from [[Licking, Missouri|Licking]] to [[Flat River, Missouri|Flat River]] (now Park Hills). Other portions were defined as '''Route 66''' (El Dorado Springs to [[Fair Play, MO|Fair Play]]), [[Route 13 (Missouri)|Route 13]] (Fair Play to [[Buffalo, MO|Buffalo]]), and '''Route 68''' ([[Farmington, MO|Farmington]] to Ste. Genevieve). Route 66 replaced Route 13 to Buffalo in 1926, but by 1927 it became part of [[US 54 (MO)|US 54]]. Route 32 also absorbed Route 68 in 1926 or 1927. [[Route 64 (Missouri)|Route 64]], which had been designated in 1922 between [[Collins, MO|Collins]] and [[Preston, MO|Preston]] (now US 54), was extended east to [[Lebanon, MO|Lebanon]] in the early 1930s, and by 1935 it had swapped alignments with US 54, becoming the El Dorado Springs-Lebanon route that now mostly carries Route 32. Route 32 was extended west to Lebanon by 1946, and it was later extended west, leaving only the [[Louisburg, MO|Louisburg]]-Lebanon section of Route 64, which has since been extended west.
 
==Route of the highway==
The highway begins at the Mississippi River north of Ste. Genevieve (a ferry connects the road with [[Illinois]]. It passes along the boundary of Pere Marquette Park and enteres Ste. Genevieve. On the west side of the city is an intersection with [[U.S. Route 61 (Missouri)|U.S. Route 61]]. Six miles further west is an interchange with [[Interstate 55 (Missouri)|Interstate 55]] and eleven miles west of the interstate is the northern junction of [[Route 144 (Missouri)|Route 144]]. At Farmington, the highway joins [[U.S. Route 67 (Missouri)|U.S. Route 67]] for four miles, then leaves at Park Hills.
 
At Caledonia, the highway turns south and forms a four mile [[concurrency (road)|concurrency]] with [[Route 21 (Missouri)|Route 21]], then turns west and enters the [[Mark Twain National Forest]]. In the national forest, the highway forms a six mile concurrency with [[Route 49 (Missouri)|Route 49]]. As the highway nears the western boundary of the Mark Twain National Forest, the highway joins [[Route 72 (Missouri)|Route 72]], the two highways will be united to the west side of Salem. Nine miles west of Salem is the northern terminus of [[Route 119 (Missouri)|Route 119]].
 
At Licking is the northern terminus of [[Route 137 (Missouri)|Route 137]] and an intersection with [[U.S. Route 63 (Missouri)|U.S. Route 63]].

At Success, MissouriRoute 32 turns north, joining [[Route 17 (Missouri)|Route 17]] for four miles then turns west again at Roby. At Lynchburg is the northern terminus of [[Route 95 (Missouri)|Route 95]] and MissouriRoute 32 turns north. Three miles northwest of Falcon, the highway leaves the Mark Twain National Forest.
 
At Lebanon, MissouriRoute 32 joins [[Route 5 (Missouri)|Route 5]] and has an interchnage with [[Interstate 44 (Missouri)|Interstate 44]], which also serves as the eastern terminus of [[Route 64 (Missouri)|Route 64]]. In Lebanon, the highway turns southwest and leaves the concurrency with MissouriRoute 5 and MissouriRoute 64.
 
At Buffalo, MissouriRoute 32 forms a brief concurrency with [[Route 73 (Missouri)|Route 73]], which it joins to the terminus of MissouriRoute 73 at [[U.S. Route 65 (Missouri)|U.S. Route 65]]. The road then continues west, forming the main highway between the two county seats of Buffalo and Bolivar. At Bolivar, the highway intersect [[Route 83 (Missouri)|Route 83]], and then intersects [[Route 13 (Missouri)|Route 13]].
 
At Fair Play, MissouriRoute 32 briefly joins [[Route 123 (Missouri)|Route 123]] and begins a northwest route to the north side of [[Stockton Lake]] where the highway passes over the dam. At Stockton, it joins [[Route 39 (Missouri)|Route 39]] briefly and continue west eventually reaching the northern terminus of [[Route 97 (Missouri)|Route 97]].
