      Route description



      Illinois 170 is a rural, two-lane surface road for its entire length. The road crosses Illinois River via a four-span truss bridge. As of May 5, 2006, the Illinois Department of Transportation is looking to replace the 74-year-old bridge. The old bridge was imploded on November 18, 2010.


      History
