^Guide marker seen by eastbound travelers reaching the eastern end of Illinois 98 in Morton, July 2016.
Interstate 155 was built as a way to get to Peoria from points south along Interstate 55, like Springfield and St. Louis. It's also handy as a shortcut for getting to Galesburg and the Quad Cities from those southerly points, via Interstates 55, 155, and 74. The northern end is at Interstate 74 in Morton, just shy of Peoria, and from there Interstate 155 runs about 32 miles south to Interstate 55 at Lincoln, shy of Springfield. This 32-mile north-south section of freeway lies in a rural zone west of Bloomington-Normal in central Illinois, within Tazewell and Logan Counties.
