This unit targets eastbound traffic on I-44 in the City of St. Louis. It is located at the entrance to “the Hill”, a historically Italian neighborhood that produced Joe Garagiola, Yogi Berra and Jack Buck. This unit is near the Missouri Botanical Gardens, The BJC medical complex and the cultural institutions of Forest Park (The Art Museum, The History Museum, The Zoo, The Muny Theater and The Science Center). Commuters from the suburbs in west and southwest St. Louis County are daily users of this artery.
