How long is the drive from Wildwood or Ballwin to Lambert?
Wildwood is the western edge of St. Louis County, and Ballwin sits just east of it, so these are among the longer suburban runs to Lambert. The route runs I-64 (Highway 40) east, then north on I-170 to I-70 west into the terminals. From Wildwood near Highway 109, expect 35 to 45 minutes off-peak. From central Ballwin around Manchester Road, it is closer to 30 to 40. The distance is why early pickups matter more here than for inner suburbs.
