===Missouri=== {{Main|Interstate 64 in Missouri}} [[File:I-64 US-40 Spoede Road 2008.jpg|thumb|right|The Spoede Road overpass in Missouri above I-64, demolished in June 2008]] In Missouri, the stretch was originally labeled as the Daniel Boone Expressway then only as US 40, and, as such, is still known to some locals in [[Greater St. Louis]] as Highway 40, even though the road has been designated as both I-64 and US 40 since 1988. This road is also the southernmost portion of the [[Avenue of the Saints]]. An interchange at Highway N in [[O'Fallon, Missouri|O'Fallon]] opened on December 13, 2004. This interchange also accommodates the tie-in of the [[Missouri Route 364|Route 364]] freeway to I-64. In April 2007, construction started to rebuild {{convert|10.5|mi|km}} of I-64 in [[St. Louis]] from Spoede Road to Kingshighway. This project included repaving the entire road, rebuilding the [[overpass]]es and [[Interchange (road)|interchanges]], adding a fourth lane between Spoede Road and [[Interstate 170|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 [[Interstate 270 (Missouri–Illinois)|I-270]] to I-170, reopening December 15, 2008. Beginning December 15, 2008, I-64 from I-170 to Kingshighway was closed.

The portion of I-64 in St. Louis has been named the Jack Buck Memorial Highway, in honor of [[Jack Buck|the late sportscaster]].
