St. Louis bypass?

Our visit here in Aurora is coming to an end and we will be heading to California via I-40 to avoid the forecasted snow and cold temperatures on I-80.

This will be my first trip through the St. Louis area. My trip routing software shows the route right through the center of the city. I am wondering if it wouldn’t be better to take I-270 north and west of the city. Any one have a recommendation?

I am not sure what your present location is. However, even if I am coming from the southeast I take I-270 up and around to avoid the traffic. My GPS also routes through downtown.

We are currently in Aurora Illinois. So we will be approching from the northeast.

I would definitely take I-270. No reason to go thru the city.

That is unless you want another chance to get togather with us. We arrived at in St Louis Today. We took I-70 all the way from Kansas City and will be here until Sunday. We are at the Queen Casino RV Park. You have our e-mail. Hope it works out this time.

Follow your gps and go straight through it is faster and easer than 270.

We came through there last year with no problem. The traffic moved quickly and it took just a short time to go through.

By all means take I-270 around St Louis. Our GPS also takes us thru St Louis when we come up on I-64 heading for I-70 going west.

I always take I-270 and 370. Between them you miss a lot of city traffic and it merges with I-70 on the east and west sides. We've used this route many times.

Grant, I assume you mean I-70 since I-40 doesn't go through St. Louis?

We ended up passing to the south of the city by taking 255 to 270 to 44. Very nice with reasonable traffic.

Thanks all for the suggestions.
