Wentzville is about 40 minutes from our door; Hannibal is about two hours. The Avenue of the Saints drops you onto I-64 at Wentzville, and the I-270 stack at Town & Country puts you 20 minutes from the clinic. Toll-free the whole way, and the scan is a flat$399.
How Far Is It?
US-61 (the Avenue of the Saints) runs together with I-64 from Wentzville, so you stay on one highway nearly the whole way before the I-270 interchange at Town & Country. Every route below is toll-free.

|---|---|---|---|
| Wentzville | 38 mi | 40–45 min | US-61 S → I-64 E → I-270 S → Exit 2 |
