===Major highways===
The major east–west route is [[File:I-44 (MO).svg|20px]] [[Interstate 44]]; before that, the main highway was [[File:US 66.svg|20px]] [[U.S. Route 66]], which still exists as a scenic route through the area and passes through [[Devil's Elbow, Missouri|Devil's Elbow]], [[St. Robert, Missouri|St. Robert]], [[Waynesville, Missouri|Waynesville]], [[Buckhorn, Pulaski County, Missouri|Buckhorn]], and [[Hazelgreen, Missouri|Hazelgreen]]. Names for [[U.S. Route 66]] vary - at different places, it's called Teardrop Road, Highway Z, Old Route 66, Historic Route 66, and Highway 17. State-posted signs mark most of the alignment of the road.

Major attractions along [[U.S. Route 66]] include the Old Stagecoach Stop in downtown [[Waynesville, Missouri|Waynesville]], which is now a museum but began as a tavern and boarding house and is the oldest standing structure in the county. It was used as a Civil War hospital for Union troops who were garrisoned above the city in Fort Wayne, which was demolished after the war. The Old Courthouse Museum in downtown [[Waynesville, Missouri|Waynesville]] is near the Old Stagecoach Stop. The third Pulaski County courthouse was struck by lightning on June 3, 1903, and destroyed.<ref>NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM, PULASKI COUNTY COURTHOUSE, http://www.dnr.mo.gov/shpo/nps-nr/79001391.pdf, undated.</ref> Three bridges cross the Big Piney River at [[Devil's Elbow, Missouri|Devil's Elbow]] - the modern [[Interstate 44]] bridge, the later [[U.S. Route 66]] alignment on Highway Z that was made possible by the Hooker Cut through a steep hillside, and the original [[U.S. Route 66]] alignment on Teardrop Road that includes a historic bridge that is in the process of renovation. The Elbow Inn is a restaurant that is a frequent stop on the original [[U.S. Route 66]] alignment. It has been closed for remodeling for a few years now.
