 I-80
West at I-39 and US 51. Starved Rock is not too far behind us ;-)
Actually IL 178 goes to the visitor's center, but I never go there anyway.
Right to the hiking trails! |
 I-80
West approaching the most useless interstate ever: I-180. This is my
exit. |
 Can
you tell why it is the most useless interstate ever yet? Goes from
Nowhere, IL, to Really Nowhere, IL. |
 A
short freeway connector heads to IL 29 and Peoria while I-180 makes a turn
to the east. |
 I-180
is still signed South even though we're going East now. |
 I-180
is prepared to end in 1/2 mile. This is near Hennepin. |
 IL
71 will take over from here, heading to Oswego via Starved Rock. |
 But
first, it hits IL 89. |
 If
I can't get you a centered sign, at least you get to see some Illinois
countryside. |
 IL
251 and IL 351 signs. IL 351 follows IL 71 north for a while. |
 East
IL 71 and North IL 351. At the time, the bridge for IL 351 was closed
over the Illinois River near LaSalle. It's probably open by now. |
 JCT
IL 178 on IL 71 East. This is in the Starved Rock area finally. |
 End
IL 178 at I-80, north of Starved Rock. |
 IL
71 hooks up with US 6 in Ottawa. This is east of Ottawa where US 6
splits from IL 71. I followed it. |
 US
6 East at IL 170. This is the northern terminus of IL 170. |
 Somehow,
somehow, I made it to IL 7 in Joliet. I don't recommend taking this
road if you don't like heavy traffic. Back home from here. |
