New Illinois highway map

The Illinois Department of Transportation has released the new Illinois Official Highway Map. The map includes route updates as well as a new feature that shows mileage between towns and marked route junctions to help residents and visitors alike plan their travels throughout Illinois.

While smartphones for directions are widely used, paper maps remain an important resource for directions, when your phone dies or you drive out of range, paper maps will show you the way. They also provide valuable information about Illinois to help you make the most of your travels.

For those with a smartphone, QR codes printed on the maps provide easy access to information on IDOT’s Getting Around Illinois site for travel conditions, Amtrak, the Office of Tourism’s Enjoy Illinois campaign as well as Illinois Department of Natural Resources historic sites and parks.
