Route description

Route 80's western terminus is at U.S. Route 61/62 near Matthews, which is located midway between Sikeston and New Madrid, with a junction with I-55 located about a mile (1.6 km) to the east. East Prairie is the only other town on the highway. Its eastern terminus is a dead end at the Mississippi River in Belmont.

At Belmont, there used to be a ferry connecting Route 80 to Kentucky Route 80, which is a major east–west thoroughfare across southern Kentucky, continuing into Virginia, as Virginia State Route 80.^[2]^[3]^[4] The toll ferry service was discontinued in 1984.^[5]^[6]
