Illinois Route 336 (also known as the Thomas A. Oakley Highway, after the executive of Quincy Newspapers) is a four-lane freeway/expressway combination that serves western Illinois. It is also used by Illinois DOT in FAP 315 to refer to a future project connecting the cities of Quincy and Peoria via underserved Macomb.
As of late 2008, the highway extends north from its starting point in Fowler (near Quincy) where U.S. Highway 24 and Interstate 172 intersect, to US 136 just west of Macomb. Illinois 336 is 80 miles (128.75 km) long.
