The Bypass (I-295) mileage wise is a tad longer however it does save a lot of time. The speed limit is higher than in the city and you don’t have all the traffic coming and going from the city. STL is just a big old mess we have construction going on EVERYWHERE and on pretty much every highway. The worst times that you can come into STL is 6-8 in the morning and 4-6ish at night. With Highway 40 closed all the other highways are packed during rush h
