Editing Interstate 170 (section)

==Southern extension==
Proposals have been made to extend I-170 south beyond its termination at [[Interstate 64 in Missouri|I-64]]/[[U.S. Route 40 in Missouri|US&nbsp;40]], and so connect to [[Interstate 55 in Missouri|I-55]], [[Interstate 270 (Missouri–Illinois)|I-270]], and [[Interstate 44 in Missouri|I-44]], and to towns such as [[Richmond Heights, Missouri|Richmond Heights]], [[Brentwood, Missouri|Brentwood]], [[Maplewood, Missouri|Maplewood]], and [[Marlborough, Missouri|Marlbourough]]. These towns currently lack direct access to the Interstates, [[St. Louis Lambert International Airport]], South County, and to each other. Many commuters travel on slower surface streets, such as Hanley Road or River Des Peres Boulevard, raising traffic in [[Shrewsbury, Missouri|Shrewsbury]] and other residential towns.<ref>{{Cite news |url = http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/linking-south-county-clayton-studied/article_2bc4cfcb-f84d-5af0-ae05-c705a7a69832.html |title = Linking South County, Clayton studied |first = Ken |last = Leiser |work = St. Louis Post-Dispatch |access-date = January 19, 2018 |language = en |url-access = subscription }}</ref> These proposals had been postponed due to lack of funding.<ref>{{Cite news |url = http://fox2now.com/2013/05/14/south-county-connector-1st-phase-of-170-south-extension/ |title = South County Connector: 1st Phase of 170 South Extension? |date = May 14, 2013 |work = FOX2now.com |access-date = January 14, 2018 |language = en-US }}</ref>
