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.

“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
“God damnit, why must all those journalists be such sticklers for detail? Why, they’d hold you to an accurate description of the first time you ever made love, expecting you to remember the color of the room and the shape of the windows.”
