Saint Louis Roads
As Seen From The Gateway Arch
It is not often
when one can get a bird's eye view of a city's highway system. When
you are viewing the road from the ground, there are a lot of things you
don't see. One is how massive highway interchanges look like a maze
or a complex piece of functional art. On a September 2005 trip to
Saint Louis, Billy Riddle got a bird's eye view of Saint Louis' highways
from the famous Gateway Arch,
and his photos are below.
A view of the massive
downtown I-64/US 40, I-55, and I-70 Interchange from the Arch. I-55
South continues on the elevated highway from the interchange at the top
of the picture.
A closer view of
the massive interchange.
A view of the six
lane elevated Interstate 70 near the Edwards Jones Dome. The signs
are for I-70 West and Exit 249B.
A bird's eye view
of signs on I-70 Eastbound as I-70 exits towards Illinois and I-55 South
(Exit 251A) continues straight towards I-44 West.
