Route Description
Illinois 111 overlaps Illinois Route 3 in Alton, U.S. Route 67 in Godfrey, and Illinois Route 267 from Godfrey to Medora.
In August 1960 a new alignment in Alton on what is now the Homer M. Adams Parkway opened to traffic from Route 100 to Route 140. A second new alignment, Bellwood Road Extension in Bethalto, opened a few years later that would link Route 111 up with Vaughn and Central in Wood River. The original alignment of IL 111 in Alton had it cut up Sixth Street in Wood River, Old Alton-Edwardsville Road (with an overlap with then-IL 159), and up Broadway in Alton until its overlap with US 67 using Belle Street.

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)
“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all. Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
