Editing Republic, Missouri (section)

==Transportation==
Republic is located on U.S. Highway 60.  Through the city limits, U.S. 60 runs concurrent with Missouri Route 413.  Interstate 44 skirts the northern city limits.  Missouri Route 360 (future Interstate 244), also known as James River Freeway, begins at an interchange with I-44 north of the city limit and heads east to the U.S. 60 interchange.  From here, eastward, the freeway takes on the U.S. 60 designation.

The city is served by BNSF Railway, formerly the Burlington Northern Railroad.  The railroad's Cherokee Subdivision runs through the community on its route between Tulsa, Oklahoma and Memphis, Tennessee.  When combined with other subdivisions, this route makes up an important corridor linking California with Birmingham and Atlanta. Primary commodities carried on trains include freight and intermodal shipments.  Passenger trains stopped running through the community in 1967.
