The Daniel Boone Bridge are two twin cantilever bridges carrying Interstate 64, U.S. Route 40 and U.S. Route 61 across the Missouri River between St. Louis County and St. Charles County, Missouri.
On December 10, 2004, the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission approved the design location of a third span, to be built upstream (to the west) of the two current spans. This new span will carry eastbound traffic, while the the current eastbound span will carry westbound traffic and the current westbound span will carry westbound outer road traffic. Construction awaits funding.[1]
