Route of the highway
The highway begins at an interchange near the city hall of Carterville in a concurrency with Missouri Supplemental Route HH. At about a mile, it turns south in a concurrency with Supplemental Route AA (Prosperity Road), and two miles further, turns west on Supplemental Route VV (Zora Road) very briefly. All of these supplemental routes were in existence prior to Missouri 249 and Missouri 249 was routed with them as it was extended north. The road runs on a straight course south and has an interchange with Route 66/Business I-44 before reaching the interchange of Interstate 44/US 71 where the road ends.
