MoDOT only puts one symbol on a mile marker. Notice that the bridge actually leads most directly to I-64/US-40; all the other interstates exit, but the mile marker and reassurance signage only say I-55. I am not sure how the choice is made which Interstate to use for the reassurance signs and mile markers. The MoDOT roads on file at MSDIS say that the bridge is all four interstates. Either as a 3 Interstate + 1 highway shield or 4 Interstate + 1 highway shield, it still makes an interesting rendering problem.
