Springfield is also the site of the first [[diverging diamond interchange]] within the United States, at the intersection of [[Interstate 44 in Missouri|I-44]] and [[Missouri Route 13|MO-13 (Kansas Expressway)]] (at {{Coord|37.2503|-93.3107|name=Springfield, Missouri, diverging diamond interchange|display=inline|scale:3000}}).

[[U.S. Route 66 in Missouri|US 66]] and [[U.S. Route 166|US 166]] formerly passed through Springfield, and sections of historic US 66 can still be seen in the city. US 166's eastern terminus was once in the northeast section of the city, and US 60 (westbound) originally ended in downtown Springfield. US 60 now goes through town on [[James River Freeway]]. In mid-November 2013, the city began discussing plans to upgrade sections of Schoolcraft Freeway (US 65) and James River Freeway (US 60) through the city to an auxiliary route of Interstate 44. The main reason is to minimize confusion should there be an incident on I-44 as a detour route. In early 2023, plans were announced to widen James River Freeway to 6 lanes, 3 lanes each way, and designate the Schoolcraft Freeway and James River Freeway to possibly I-244.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Burger |first=Rance |date=2023-01-09 |title=Six lanes, millions of dollars and big vision for James River Freeway |url=http://sgfcitizen.org/economy-growth/less-drag-to-your-drive-six-lanes-millions-of-dollars-and-a-big-vision-for-james-river-freeway/ |access-date=2024-05-27 |website=Springfield Daily Citizen |language=en-US}}</ref>
