Route Description
Illinois 62 is called Algonquin Road for its entire length, and is a northern parallel to Interstate 90. It is one of the few state roads in Illinois to be shorter than the name of the road that it marks, as Algonquin Road continues westward as McHenry CR A48 to Illinois Route 47 (about 8 miles (13 km), or 13 km), eastward as a local road to Oakton Street and Riverside Drive by Interstate 294 (about 5 miles (8.0 km), or 8 km), and northward as a local road to U.S. Highway 14 (about 5 miles (8.0 km), or 8 km) in Fox River Grove. The eastward extent of Algonquin Road is mainly residential, however.
