Route Description
Illinois 111 overlaps Illinois Route 3 in Alton, U.S. Route 67 in Godfrey, and Illinois Route 267 from Godfrey to Medora.
In August 1960 a new alignment in Alton on what is now the Homer M. Adams Parkway opened to traffic from Route 100 to Route 140. A second new alignment, Bellwood Road Extension in Bethalto, opened a few years later that would link Route 111 up with Vaughn and Central in Wood River. The original alignment of IL 111 in Alton had it cut up Sixth Street in Wood River, Old Alton-Edwardsville Road (with an overlap with then-IL 159), and up Broadway in Alton until its overlap with US 67 using Belle Street.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“An intentional object is given by a word or a phrase which gives a description under which.”
—Gertrude Elizabeth Margaret Anscombe (b. 1919)
