Back in 2012 we took route 30 across OH to Fort Wayne IN then picked up route 24. The plan was to take the route you mention to pick up route 36 at Hannibal to cross MO and KS. Route 24 was divided highway as far as Logansport and became 2 lane after that. We usually like to drive the 2 lane roads to avoid interstate traffic, but that day we got frustrated by slowdowns and traffic on 24 and hopped onto I57 to take the interstates to get to Hannibal. BTW, route 36 is a great divided highway across MO.
With the route the OP described they won't be hitting US 24 until about 150 on west from where you got off of it.
