 Would
you like to "actuate" this signal? I know I would. |
 Routes
64 and 23 meet in Sycamore. |
 A
scene from Sycamore on WB IL 64. |
 Sorry
for the steering wheel. This is WB IL 64 at I-39 in Central Illinois. |
 ALT
39 is really IL 251. But they don't say that here. |
 Here
we are at IL 251, which parallels I-39 and US 51. IL 251 is the
original alignment of US 51, but the US route was moved onto the freeway
(I-39) when it was built. |
 Continuing
westward on IL 64, we meet IL 2 all the way out in Oregon. No, not the
famous Oregon. Small-time Oregon. |
 South
IL 2. This is a nice road paralleling the Rock River into the town of
Rock Falls. |
 IL
2 makes a curve to the left. Excuse the wheel again, I was a novice at
roadsign photography back in early 2002. |
 In
Dixon now, approaching US 52 and IL 26. |
 The
Lincoln Highway goes through this construction zone in Dixon. |
 An
array of signs, from the LGSs hung over the road to the two markers on the
right: Lincoln Hwy. and the Ronald Reagan Trail. |
 In
downtown Dixon, there is a nice arch welcoming you. |
 IL
38 begins a few blocks ahead on US 52. The east end of Route 38 is at
US 12/20/45 in Westchester. |
 US
52 (To IL 38) turns left while South IL 26 continues. |
 To
Toll I-88. |
 US
52 and Lincoln Hwy, nearing IL 38. |
 Almost... |
 Almost... |
 YES!!
Finally on IL 38 Eastbound. |
 Looking
westbound at the impending doom of IL 38. |
 The
death of Route 38 means nothing to the Lincoln Highway, which continues into
the western parts of the United States. |
 IL
26 SB at I-88, which at the time was the E-W Tollway. Now it is the
Ronald Reagan Memorial Tollway. |
 US
30 crosses here. The Ronald Reagan Trail follows IL 26 southwards. |
 A
typically Illinois scene on US 30 East just after IL 26. |
 We've
made it back to IL 251, this time on US 52. I turned this way when US
30 hit US 52. |
 US
52 connects with Route 251. Near Mendota. |
 JCT
US 34 in Mendota. In the Chicago area, US 34 is known as Ogden Ave.
To the west, it heads to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. |
 Going
east on US 34. Sometimes, Illinois doesn't like to put the directional
banners on its highways in rural areas. This is one of those times. |
