Missouri Route 367
Route 367 is a long roadway in the metropolitan St. Louis, Missouri, United States area. It is also known as Lewis & Clark Boulevard. Its northern terminus is U.S. Route 67 (US 67) near Black Jack and its southern terminus is at the Interstate 70 (I-70) bridge over Riverview Boulevard before Riverview Boulevard becomes Bircher Boulevard in St. Louis. It was originally part of US 67. History In December 2007, a multi-year reconstruction project to convert the St. Louis County portion of Route 367 to freeway status was completed. The road was designed in the 1950s, and needed rebuilding, partly because of very short turn lanes and closely adjacent outer service roads. The new freeway now helps to provide a more direct route between St. Louis and the Alton, Illinois section of the St. Louis Metro East. Existing bridges were replaced at Chambers Road, Coldwater Creek, and the BNSF railroad tracks. South of I-270, Route 367 is planned as more of a parkway, where both arterial a ...

Freeway
A controlled-access highway is a type of highway that has been designed for high-speed vehicular traffic, with all traffic flow—ingress and egress—regulated. Common English terms are freeway, motorway and expressway. Other similar terms include '' throughway'' and '' parkway''. Some of these may be limited-access highways, although this term can also refer to a class of highways with somewhat less isolation from other traffic. In countries following the Vienna convention, the motorway qualification implies that walking and parking are forbidden. A fully controlled-access highway provides an unhindered flow of traffic, with no traffic signals, intersections or property access. They are free of any at-grade crossings with other roads, railways, or pedestrian paths, which are instead carried by overpasses and underpasses. Entrances and exits to the highway are provided at interchanges by slip roads (ramps), which allow for speed changes between the highway and arter ...
