Interstate 55
Interstate 55 is an interstate highway in the central United States. Like other "interstates," it is commonly referred to as I-55. Its odd number indicates that it is primarily a north-south highway. It goes from Laplace, Louisiana (some 25 miles (40 km) west of New Orleans) at Interstate 10 to Chicago, Illinois at U.S. Highway 41 (Lake Shore Drive).
Notes
- I-255 was a bypass around Memphis, Tennessee; it is now I-240.
- A portion of I-55 in Saint Louis County, Missouri is named the Rosa Parks Highway.
- I-755 was planned to bypass downtown St. Louis, but the freeway was never built. Currently, the city can be bypassed by I-255, I-270 or I-170, known as the Inner Belt Expressway.
- I-55 actually cross the Mississippi River twice--once at Memphis, Tennessee and then again at St. Louis, Missouri.
