Interstate 172 In Illinois
Route description
I-172 begins at a trumpet interchange with I-72/US 36, about five miles (8.0 km) east of Hannibal before immediately entering Adams County while concurrent with IL 110 (Chicago–Kansas City Expressway). I-172 enters the Quincy area at exit 10 (IL 96), passing to the far east of the city. I-172 ends just northeast of Quincy, ending at US 24, continuing north as IL 110/IL 336.
History
I-172 originally was what I-72 is now from Springfield to the current interchange with I-172. This was approved by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) on June 9, 1991.
On April 23, 1995, after a reexamination by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the highway to Hannibal was redesignated I-72, with the highway north to Quincy redesignated as I-172. The highway is non-chargeable, meaning that, even though it is an Interstate (designed and constructed to Interstate Highway standards and specifications), it was not built with federal funds.
