The area is
roughly 90 miles north of St. Louis, Missouri and 200 miles southwest of
Chicago via Interstate 55 through Springfield, which serves as a major
north-south corridor to Memphis TN (more than 300 miles) and Louisiana
(roughly 700 miles). From St. Louis there are
highway links in many directions nationwide, such as Interstate 70 west to
Kansas City and Denver, or Interstate 44 to Oklahoma and Dallas, Texas.
There are also good interstate routes to the east and southeast
Springfield is located along Interstate
72, which is the route from Quicy, Illinois on the west side of the state along

Champaign-Urbana area to
Indianapolis, Indiana and other eastern locations.
