Interstate 57 (I-57) is an interstate highway in the midwestern United States. It goes from Miner, Missouri, at Interstate 55 to Chicago, Illinois, at Interstate 94. Interstate 57 serves as a de-facto bypass route for travelers from the south on Interstate 55 who are headed on their way to Chicago instead of going through St. Louis.

As of 2007, I-57 has no spur routes, nor are any planned in the near future.

Route description

Missouri

In the state of Missouri, Interstate 57 runs from Miner to the Cairo I-57 Bridge over the Mississippi River south of Cairo, Illinois.

After ending at Interstate 55, the highway continues as U.S. Route 60, which meets U.S. Route 67 at Poplar Bluff, Missouri and from here US 67 goes south to Little Rock, Arkansas. The state of Missouri has proposed extending the I-57 designation down this corridor. However, this plan conflicts with Arkansas' plans to extend the Interstate 30 designation north on US 67, a road of which a long section already meets Interstate highway standards.^{citation needed}

Illinois

Interstate 57 in Country Club Hills, Illinois, heading north.

In the state of Illinois, Interstate 57 runs from the bridge over the Mississippi River north to Chicago. I-57 is the longest Interstate highway in Illinois. The route is an easy way to reach Shawnee National Forest in the southern tip of the state. It also serves as a major artery for college students in the state, running near Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Parkland College in Champaign, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in Urbana-Champaign, Kankakee Community College in Kankakee, Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, and Governors State University in University Park. Interstate 57 currently does not have an intersection with Interstate 294 (Tri-State Tollway) in northeastern Illinois. It is one of only a few examples where Interstates cross but do not have interchanges with each other. Vehicles are directed to use Interstate 80 to access Interstate 294 instead, though U.S. Route 6 is another option.

Although the Illinois General Assembly named all of Interstate 57 in Illinois as the Thurgood Marshall Memorial Freeway, this name has not entered popular usage, and I-57 remains the only Chicago expressway that does not have a commonly-used name. Its original name was the Dan Ryan Expressway-West Leg.^[2]
