What kind of drive is this?
Expect a turn-heavy local drive rather than a high-speed interstate haul. While you will briefly utilize I-55 South, the route relies heavily on local roads, meaning your highway share is effectively zero percent. You will spend most of your time navigating local connectors like East Washington Street and MO-E, which keeps the pace moderate and requires your full attention at intersections. There are no long, monotonous interstate stretches here, so you will be constantly transitioning between different local road segments. Be prepared for a hands-on driving experience that changes character as you move away from the initial highway transition.
81% highway — fuel and pacing are the main things to plan.
7 navigation steps total — most of the decisions cluster near the start and finish.
Longest single stretch: 14.2 mi on I 55.
