Text Box: Illinois' modern transportation system utilizes air, ground, rail, waterways and telecommunications technologies to provide direct routes to every US market and also international ports.  Illinois lies at the heart of the nation's interstate highway system as depicted in the National Highway System map.  In all, 2,164 miles of interstate highway serve Illinois.  Only two states have more interstate miles than Illinois.  Three coast-to-coast interstates pass through Illinois, I-80 and I-90 in the northern part of the state, and I-70 in the southern half.  These are joined by major north-south interstates, including I-39, I-55 and I-57, and the major east-west interstates I-24, I-64 and I-74 (www.illinoisbiz.biz).  In the northern half of the state, I-39 follows a northerly route from Bloomington to Illinois' northern border.  I-55 follows a northerly route from St Louis, Missouri to Chicago.  I-55 closely follows the Mississippi River, the dividing line between Missouri and Illinois.  The Bill Emerson Memorial Bridge, which spans the Mississippi River near Cape Girardeau, Missouri, connects Illinois to Missouri in Alexander County in the southern tip of the state.  I-57 stretches from Chicago in the north to Cairo in the south.  From Cairo in Alexander County, I-57 continues approximately thirty miles into Missouri where it ends at the intersection of I-55 near Sikeston, Missouri.  The west end of I-24 is south of Marion at the Johnson - Williamson County line north of Goreville in Johnson County.  From Johnson County, I-24 continues on a west to east route through Nashville, Tennessee on route to Chattanooga, Tennessee.  I-64 passes through the southern half of Illinois in an easterly route from St Louis, Missouri into Indiana, north of Evansville.  I-74 passes through the northern half of the state, in an easterly route from Davenport, Iowa (one of the quad cities), through Peoria, Bloomington and Champaign in route to Indiana.  In addition to interstates, over 35,000 miles of state highways make the interstate routes accessible from every region of Illinois (www.illinoisbiz.biz).  I-24 has Johnson County interchanges at mile markers 7, 14, and 16.  I-24 ends as it intersects with I-57 at the Johnson-Williamson County line, north of the I-57 interchange at mile marker 40 near Goreville in Johnson County.  Average daily traffic counts for the Johnson County interstate interchanges are depicted in the maps provided by the Illinois Department of Transportation (www.dot.state.il.us).  I-24 Mile Marker 7  |  I-24 Mile Marker 14  |  I-24 Mile Marker 16  |  I-57 Mile Marker 40  |  I-24 terminus at I-57
