Illinois Route 59

It runs south from Illinois Route 173 in Antioch to I-55 in Shorewood, spanning the north–south width of Chicago's western suburbs.

Most portions along IL 59 are zoned for commercial uses, however there are extensive stretches of residential areas along the road in West Chicago, Barrington, and Fox Lake Hills.

The IL 59 corridor also includes large community retail areas in Volo/Fox Lake, Wauconda, Bartlett, West Chicago, and Warrenville.

The regional shopping malls Westfield Fox Valley in Aurora and The Arboretum of South Barrington can also be found along the IL 59 corridor.
