==Transportation==
'''Road'''
The most important highway in Chesterfield is Interstate 64/U.S. Routes 40-61, which enters the city from the west after crossing the Missouri River and continues more or less eastward toward Town and Country and ultimately St. Louis. It crosses Chesterfield Valley most of the way and provides direct access to the Boone's Crossing, Chesterfield Commons, and Chesterfield Mall shopping centers. Other important roads include Missouri State Highway 141, which connects the eastern part of the city with Maryland Heights to the north and Manchester to the south, and Missouri State Highway 340 (also known as Olive Boulevard for much of its length), which runs from southwest to northeast and links the city with [[Ellisville, Missouri|Ellisville]] and Creve Coeur.
'''Rail'''
The old section of track belonging to the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, dating back to the late 19th century, is now operated by the Central Midland Railway, which serves various industrial facilities in the Chesterfield Valley. It also provides access to the Union Pacific Railroad lines in St. Louis.<ref>https://www.up.com/customers/shortline/index.htm</ref>
'''Air'''
Chesterfield is home to the Spirit of St. Louis Airport, which is located near the western end of the city in the Missouri River floodplain. Named for the ''Spirit of St. Louis'' airplane flown by [[Charles Lindbergh]], it has been in operation since 1964 and possesses two public-use runways, handling mostly business aircraft.<ref>https://www.spiritairport.com/history</ref>
