Route description

Illinois 54 runs southwest-to-northeast from Springfield. It is now mainly a local road, as Interstates 55 and 57 have become preferred for long distance travel in the region.

History

Until 1972, IL 54 was signed as US 54. US 54 now terminates between Pittsfield and Griggsville at mile marker 35 on I-72 /US 36. The US 54 alignment between this point and IL 54's current western terminus has since been replaced by the combined I-72/US 36 freeway and I-55. This is a gap of 78 miles (126 km).
