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.

“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
