Directions from St. Louis?

We loved here from that area and we have found the most updated directions come from mapquest which you can download as an app on phone! Have fun! It takes us about 10 from Cape!

Swa!

We take 55 south till we get to I-155/us 412 Dyersburg, then 45 to 72 to 65 to 331 to 98 to 395 to 30a. Another good route is 78 that you catch in Memphis. Both take about 12 hours from St. Louis. You can also go the 255 route and go through Nashville but that is more mileage and takes longer. Whichever route you choose, have fun!!

Over 25 years we have gone every which way. We have taken all kinds of back roads just for the fun of it. But when you need to cut to the chase and want to minimize time, the most direct-as much interstate as possible:

64E-57S-24E-65S-331S-98E-395S

We sometimes take alternate roads to 331 that run parallel if the road is crowded.
Some will stay on 65 a little longer and get off at Georgiana and take 55 and go through Andulusia.

I concur, stay on 65 until Georgiana, then 55/84 to 331. From Carbondale, I have made it in 9.5 hours.

55 to Sikeston, crossover to Paducah, 24 to Nashville to 65 to Montgomery, 331 South

Wuchie,hope you haven't taken Bob's advice about Paducah to Nashvile.I-24 is nothing less than a nightmare lately road construction for miles and as much as two to three hour delays.wish I had seen this before tonight.Take Luvthebeach's advise.

Sorry did not know there was construction. I used that route a lot back in the day. Hated 64 because of the miles and miles of open highway and I do most of my travels at night.

Its'ok Bob,I live about thirty miles from Paducah.Today I am on my way to SoWal.going 45 to 72to I-65 to 331.

Yes I would definitely consider traffic. Traffic.com will give you some indication if you can check when you get near to the area. You have to balance adding drive time through back roads vs possible delays if speed is the object. If they are not working you can get through construction quicker. We prefer the back roads when possible just because they are interesting. We used to take hiway 7 around Nashville. Last time we took that they had "improved" it quite a bit and some of the pretty views are gone.

Sometimes to avoid the monotony of 64-57, in the daytime we take 55S and cross at Chester and take hiway 3 south and cross over to 24 through Anna. It can take about the same amount of time as 64/57.
