Shortly afterwards, it runs concurrently with the partially grade-separated Illinois Route 336 (IL 336) northwards.

It splits off and east just south of Loraine, and travels north concurrent with Illinois Route 94 (IL 94), splitting off to the east afterwards in Bowen.

It intersects Illinois Route 101 (IL 101) and heads north once again.
