OKRoads.com -- Fields Trip -- Interstate 255 Missouri

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.
