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.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“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)
“I fancy it must be the quantity of animal food eaten by the English which renders their character insusceptible of civilisation. I suspect it is in their kitchens and not in their churches that their reformation must be worked, and that Missionaries of that description from [France] would avail more than those who should endeavor to tame them by precepts of religion or philosophy.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
