Illinois Route 113 takes a mostly parallel route, but on the south side of the river.
The road is two lanes for its entire length, except for a four-lane stretch with center turn lanes measuring approximately 1.5 miles (2.5 km) near its eastern terminus in Bourbonnais. A center turn lane also exists within a two-lane section for a few blocks inside the city of Wilmington.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“A Route of Evanescence
With a revolving Wheel—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“As they are not seen on their way down the streams, it is thought by fishermen that they never return, but waste away and die, clinging to rocks and stumps of trees for an indefinite period; a tragic feature in the scenery of the river bottoms worthy to be remembered with Shakespeare’s description of the sea-floor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
