Interstate 64
Encyclopedia
Interstate 64 is an Interstate Highway in the Midwestern and Southeastern
United States
. Its western terminus is at I-70, U.S. 40, and U.S. 61 in Wentzville, Missouri
. Its eastern terminus is at an interchange with I-264
and I-664 at Bowers Hill in Chesapeake, Virginia
. As I-64 is concurrent with U.S. 40 and U.S. 61 at its western terminus, the road itself continues as an arterial road
as part of the Avenue of the Saints
connecting St. Louis, Missouri
to St. Paul, Minnesota.
The Missouri Department of Transportation
has completed extending I-64 to I-70 in Wentzville, Missouri
.
In April 2007, construction started to rebuild 10.5 miles (16.9 km) of I-64 in St. Louis, Missouri
, from Spoede Rd. to Kingshighway. This project included repaving the entire road, rebuilding the overpasses and interchanges, adding a fourth lane between Spoede Rd. and I-170, and connecting I-64 to I-170 in all directions. Construction resulted in the complete closure of portions of the expressway in 2008 and 2009. In 2008, I-64 was closed from I-270 to I-170, re-opening December 15, 2008. Beginning December 15, 2008, I-64 from I-170 to Kingshighway Blvd. was closed. On December 7, 2009, Interstate 64 was complete in its entire length in Missouri from the Poplar Street Bridge
to I-70 in Wentzville.

In I-64's overlaps with I-55, I-57, I-75, I-77, I-81, and I-95, I-64 does not maintain exit number continuity for any of those overlaps, as each of those four north-south routes maintain their exit numbering on their respective overlaps with I-64.

. An interchange at Highway N O'Fallon, Missouri
opened on December 13, 2004. This interchange will also accommodate the future tie in of the Route 364 freeway to I-64. As of December 7, 2009, I-64 is now complete and signed all the way to Interstate 70 in Wentzville. All stoplights have been removed. The portion of Interstate 64 in St. Louis has been named the Jack Buck
Memorial Highway, in honor of the late sportscaster.
The section from IL 127 to I-57 opened on October 4, 1974. The section from IL 161 to IL 127 opened in December 1973. The section in the Metro-East
, except for a short section near I-55/70, opened on December 23, 1975. The section from US 460 (later IL 142) to US 45 opened on August 7, 1975.
/Indiana 57/Future Interstate 69) then proceeds through part of the scenic Hoosier National Forest, with exits leading to Dale
and Huntingburg
(Exits 57A-B/U.S. 231), Santa Claus

(Exit 63/Indiana 162
), French Lick
and Tell City
(Exit 79/Indiana 37
), and Indiana's first state capital, Corydon
(Exit 105/Indiana 135
).
Between Evansville and New Albany, I-64 intersects a few major north-south arterial highways, such as U.S. 231, Indiana 37
, Indiana 135
and offers access to Interstate 65
to Indianapolis
via Interstate 265
before crossing into Kentucky on the Sherman Minton Bridge
.
The 123-mile route in Indiana can be described as being somewhat winding, especially the farther east one travels within the state. The longest straightline distance along the route is the around 9 mile stretch from the Indiana 65 exit to the 26 mile marker, 1 mile east of U.S. 41. There are many points along the route where the two halves of the highway are nearly 500 feet apart, especially around the Hoosier National Forest
and points to the east. In addition, there are several points, especially in the very sharp valleys along its route in Dubois
, Perry
, Crawford
and Harrison
Counties, where the highway towers more than 100 feet above the surrounding terrain.

at Louisville
, paralleling the Ohio River
along the Riverfront Expressway. It intersects with several downtown interchanges before coming to the Kennedy Interchange
, where it intersects Interstate 65
and Interstate 71
in a tangle of ramps often referred to as the "Spaghetti Junction". Moving eastward, I-64 passes through Shelbyville
, Frankfort
, Midway
, Lexington
, Winchester
, and Morehead
, before leaving the state near Ashland
at Catlettsburg
. It overlaps Interstate 75
as it makes an arc around the northeast of Lexington, with the exit numbers for I-75 used for the concurrent portion. The two interstates separate a few miles northeast of Lexington. It is often called "The I-64/I-75 Southern Split".
Interstate 64 travels for 184 miles (296.1 km) within the state of West Virginia
, passing by the major towns and cities of Huntington
, Charleston
, Beckley
, and Lewisburg
. It has only two major junctions within the state: Interstate 77
in Charleston and in Beckley. It also crosses the Kanawha River
a total of four times in a 20 miles (32.2 km) stretch (twice west of Charleston, immediately before entering the downtown Charleston area, then approximately 5 miles (8 km) east of downtown Charleston).
Between I-64's two junctions with I-77, I-64 and I-77 overlap. From the final crossing of the Kanawha River
east of Charleston to their split at Exit 40 south of Beckley, the two Interstates are tolled, forming a part of the West Virginia Turnpike
.
While the two expressways overlap, the exit signs are those for Interstate 77. Thus, eastbound travelers entering from Kentucky will see exit numbers increase until Exit 60, at which time Interstate 77's exit numbers are used, decreasing from Exit 100.
runs east–west through central Virginia from West Virginia via Covington
, Lexington
, Staunton
, and Charlottesville
to Richmond
. From Lexington to Staunton, it overlaps Interstate 81 (using I-81 exit numbers). From Richmond, Interstate 64 continues southeasterly through Newport News
and Hampton
to the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel
, and then through Norfolk
and a small portion of Virginia Beach
to end in Chesapeake
.
I-64 itself does not reach the Oceanfront area of Virginia Beach, as it continues through the western portion of Virginia Beach as part of the circumferential Hampton Roads Beltway. At its eastern terminus, East I-64 is actually running westbound (and West I-64 eastbound), as the route forms a fishhook around Norfolk.
Access to the Oceanfront area is accomplished from I-64 via a portion of Interstate 264
, a roadway originally built as the Virginia Beach Expressway, funded by tolls
to retire revenue bonds.
I-64 had a proposed routing around the US 50 corridor in Illinois when the interstates were first planned. Local pressure pushed the routing closer to the US 460 corridor because of the cheaper cost and shorter mileage compared to the original routing.
I-64 signs started going up in August 1987 on the US 40 freeway in St. Louis. This change was made, due, in part, to truck drivers deliberately using US 40 to avoid mandatory fines for overweight trucks.

Illinois
I-64 enters Illinois from St. Louis, Missouri, via the Poplar Street Bridge, where it overlaps I-55 and I-70 as it crosses the Mississippi River. After crossing the city of East St. Louis and the rest of suburban St. Clair County, the freeway heads southeast through rural Southern Illinois. Shortly after passing Mid-America Airport at Exit 23, I-64 enters Clinton County, then Washington County. After providing access to towns such as Carlyle, Breese, Nashville, and Centralia, the freeway overlaps I-57 through the Mt. Vernon area for approximately five miles. East of Mt. Vernon in Illinois, services along I-64 are few. The freeway crosses Jefferson, Wayne, and White counties as it progresses east toward Indiana and the Evansville area. East of the St Louis area, there are numerous oil wells dotting the landscape.The section from IL 127 to I-57 opened on October 4, 1974. The section from IL 161 to IL 127 opened in December 1973.

History
Elements of Interstate 64, such as the Sherman Minton bridge over the Ohio on the Indiana-Kentucky border, were completed by the early 1960s. The interstate was complete between St. Louis and Charleston with the completion of the 9th Street overpass in Louisville in December 1976.I-64 had a proposed routing around the US 50 corridor in Illinois when the interstates were first planned. Local pressure pushed the routing closer to the US 460 corridor because of the cheaper cost and shorter mileage compared to the original routing.
I-64 signs started going up in August 1987 on the US 40 freeway in St. Louis. This change was made, due, in part, to truck drivers deliberately using US 40 to avoid mandatory fines for overweight trucks.
