 Westbound
US 24 over the bridge that goes from Quincy, IL, to the state of Missouri.
This is a new bridge, and the old bridge still stands, although it's not in
use. |
 This
is the old US 24 bridge. |
 US
24 becomes an expressway in Missouri, and this is just before it gets to the
US 61 expressway. |
 I
don't quite remember, but I think this was taken from US 61 Southbound.
This was a confusing interchange and I missed an exit and had to turn
around. Or maybe it was a really simple interchange and I'm just dumb. |
 US
24 EB in Missouri. The old road is to the right, and still is in great
condition, meaning this bridge is quite new. |
 You
can see the old, blue bridge to the right as the new highway curves to the
left. |
 Thar
she blows. |
 Crossing
back into Illinois on US 24 EB. |
 Illinois
57 starts just ahead. I don't think there should be a "To" banner on
this one. |
 IL
104 begins here, too. |
 Bunch
o' Roads: US 24, IL 96, Lincoln Heritage Trail, and the Great River Road.
All north of Quincy. |
 JCT
I-172. No mention of IL 336 until the actual interchange. |
 IL
336 is mentioned here, as well as the Quincy Airport and I-72. |
 Whoa,
Nelly! Got a little close to these signs. |
 To
IL 107, which could easily be a northward extension of US 54. |
 Climbing
a hill on the small IL 103. This is a great road, even if it's only
like 10 miles long. You get a great view of the Illinois plains at the
top of this hill. |
 This
was taken descending said hill. The view is grander at the top, but I
couldn't get the camera out in time and wasn't going to turn back to get the
shot. |
 EB
IL 103 nearing US 67 and IL 100, which share pavement from here southward to
IL 104, west of Jacksonville. |
 IL
103 ends here at US 67 and IL 100. |
 Southbound
on US 67 and IL 100, going over the Illinois River to Beardstown. Had
to get Cass County in, ya know. |
 IL
125 East starts here, on its way to Springfield. |
 Northbound
IL 100 in some small town, maybe Frederick or Browning? |
 IL
100 follows the Illinois River and thus, trees line the road. |
 And
there are curves and hills, too. |
 On
US 136 West and IL 78 and IL 97 NB coming out of Havana. Had to get
Mason County in, ya know. |

 These
are interesting shields where IDOT saves time and money by putting IL 8 and
IL 116 in one shield. |
 Peoria
has a pretty cool skyline for a city of 112,000. |
 More
skyline. |
 IL
29 in Peoria is two one-way roads with 4-lanes apiece. |
 The
stub end of the IL 6 freeway north of Peoria. Will this freeway ever
be extended northward to meet I-80 as the Chicago-Peoria corridor?
Probably not. |
 South
IL 6. |
 We
exit IL 6 at IL 40 North. |
 The
scene further north on IL 40. |
 Whew,
just barely got a pic of IL 90 in. |
 I
wasn't too good at centering this photo, either, on IL 17 EB at IL 29. |
 IL
17 at IL 117. |
 The
bridges on I-39 don't have central supports. This is NB. |
 I
guess they were testing the interstate roadway here LONG before I-39 was
commissioned. The sign says 1956-62 and I-39 was only commissioned in
the 1980s. |
That's all for this one! Doesn't
Illinois rock? |
