FIELDS TRIP
Interstate 255 Illinois
Interstate 255 bypasses St. Louis
on its southern and eastern sides. The highway runs from
Interstate 55 southwest of St. Louis, then south across the
Mississippi River to IL 3, where it turns to the north, and finds
its northern end at Interstate 270 near Edwardsville, Illinois.
The exit numbers begin from 1 at Interstate 55 and do not reset
at the Missouri/Illinois State Line. On Day Five of the Fields
Trip, I drove all of Interstate 255.
