Route Description
Illinois 59 is a major four-lane arterial for most of its length, running parallel to and about five miles (8 km) east of the Fox River in Illinois. It is especially crowded in the suburbs of Naperville, West Chicago, and Plainfield. Most of Illinois 59 in that area is zoned commercially for about 5 miles (8 kilometers). Illinois 59 is the only numbered highway with a Metra station named after it on the BNSF line; this name differentiates the station from the main Naperville station further east on the line.
Illinois 59 is called Sutton Road in the vicinity of U.S. Route 20 (Lake Street) and Illinois Route 19 (Irving Park Road). Route 59 is called Neltnor Blvd. in the vicinity of Illinois Route 64 (North Avenue). Illinois Route 59 is known as Barrington Rd./Hough St. through Barrington. In the Shorewood area, Route 59 is known as Cottage St. and Brookforest Ave.
Between Interstate 90 (the Northwest Tollway) and West Chicago, Illinois 59 runs through Hoffman Estates, Streamwood and Bartlett.

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)
“The great object in life is Sensation—to feel that we exist, even though in pain; it is this “craving void” which drives us to gaming, to battle, to travel, to intemperate but keenly felt pursuits of every description whose principal attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
