Current and Future Improvements:
An expressway connection between the Rockton Bypass and the expressway segment north of Rockford is hinted at by stub endings,
but no action is currently taking place to make this a reality. The 2-lane expressway segment between Dixon and Sterling may
be expanded to 4-lanes, but no action is currently taking place. The only project in the current transportation improvement
plan is to do minor repairs to IL 2 between Rockford and Oregon, resurfacing the highway and reconstructing the shoulders.

Interstate 39
Main route of the Interstate Highway System
Length: 323 mi (520 km)
South end: I-55 in Normal, IL
Major
junctions: I-80 near La Salle, IL
I-88 near Rochelle, IL
I-90 near Rockford, IL
I-94 near Madison, WI
I-90/I-94 near Portage, WI
North end: WIS 29 near Wausau, WI
Interstate 39 (abbreviated I-39) is an interstate highway in the midwestern United States. It runs from Normal, Illinois at
Interstate 55 to Highway 29 in Rothschild, Wisconsin, approximately six miles south of Wausau, Wisconsin.
Interstate 39 is primarily used as a long-distance bypass for commercial vehicles around Chicago and was built in the 1980s
and 1990s. Industries in Minneapolis, Eau Claire and other northern-tier cities may exchange goods with more southerly cities
such as Cincinnati, Louisville and Indianapolis (via Interstate 74) without routing traffic through congestion-plagued Chicago.
As of 2007, Interstate 39 has no spur routes, nor are any planned.

almost entirely with U.S. Highway 51 and ends just south of Wausau, with the U.S. 51 freeway continuing north.

Length: 79 miles (127 km)
Formed: Early 1960s
Direction: East-west
From: Illinois_75.svg Illinois Route 75 in Rockford, Illinois
To: I-90.svgI-190.svg Interstates 90/190 in Chicago, Illinois

System: Interstate Highway system
Illinois Tollway system
The Northwest Tollway in Illinois is a 79 mile (127 km) segment of Interstate 90 from Interstate 190 in far northwest Chicago
to Illinois Route 75, one mile south of the Wisconsin state line. For 16 miles (26 km), Interstate 90 is multiplexed with
Interstate 39 and U.S. Route 51. It consists of four lanes west of Elgin (2 each direction), and six east of Elgin (3 each
direction).
The Northwest Tollway was built in the late 1950s and early 1960s from the O'Hare area (at the Tri-State Tollway) to the WI
line north of Rockford. The route has I-90 on its entire length. From the Rockford Curve to the last exit in IL (IL-75) US-51
and I-39 also run with the Tollway.
East of Interstate 190, Interstate 90 merges into the Kennedy Expressway.
The Northwest Tollway serves as a continuous road between Chicago and the Twin Cities, two major Midwestern metropolitan areas.
Toll barriers
There are four mainline toll barriers, each having cash tolls of 80 cents (as of January 1, 2005) and I-PASS tolls of 40 cents
for a 2-axle passenger vehicle. The South Beloit toll plaza at the Illinois & Wisconsin state line is $1.00 (50 cents for
I-PASS users). The barriers are located around the O'Hare Airport area, in Elgin, in Belvidere, and in South Beloit. Interstate
39 travelers exiting/entering at Rockford used to have to pay at the Cherry Valley toll plaza, but that toll plaza has been
demolished due to traffic concerns. As of Feb. 2006 the Marengo toll Westbound and the Belvidere Eastbound tolls have been
removed. As a result of this change tolls have doubled at these plazas. Eastbound traffic does not pay a toll at Belvidere
but pay $0.80 at Marengo (cash users pay $1.60). Westbound traffic pays no toll at Marengo but pays $0.80 at Belvidere (cash
users pay $1.60). This was done to accommodate open road tolling construction.
The Northwest Tollway is maintained by the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority.
There are two oases on the Northwest Tollway -- one at Belvidere, and one in Des Plaines by O'Hare. Both are the over-highway
oases that have become fixtures of the Illinois Tollway system. There is also a welcome center south of Beloit, WI.
