Is Highway 61 in Northeast MO a four-lane highway?

Factual Questions

I live in Apple Valley, MN and will be traveling down to Jacksonville, IL this weekend. Here is the route Google Maps gives me.

I’ve traveled back and forth over a dozen times, but never taken the bottom half of this route. I always take the first half of the highlighted route ([Apple Valley down to Iowa City) so I know that’s all four-lane. But from Iowa City I normally take all Interstate Highways (Iowa City-Davenport-Galesburg-Peoria-Springfield-Jacksonville). But I’ve of the thought about going down thru Missouri before crossing over to Illinois. The only thing stopping me is a fear that I’ll end up traveling on a lot of two-line highways. (I avoid two-lane roads on long trips because I’m just too impatient.)

I know I’m good from my starting point down to Iowa City. This Wiki link indicates that it’s four-lane from Iowa City to the Missouri border:

So I think I’m good all the way down to Missouri. That just leaves Highway 61 from the border down to Quincy. Can anyone tell me whether or not this is all (or mostly) four-lane?

Thanks!

It’s all four lane South of the 61-27 intersection just West of Alexandria MO. So as you’ll already be on 27, you’ll have four lane all the way.

Have a good trip!

Not to state the obvious, but you can zoom in on Google maps enough to see the actual lane lines on the road and see cars traveling in side-by-side lanes. Or you can use Street View and see the actual road from the ground.
