Route description
Interstate 180 winds through a forested, hilly area in north-central Illinois. The local topography surrounding I-180 is heavily influenced by the Illinois River. It has four lanes for its entire length.
History
Construction of I-180 was completed in 1969.[cite news |url=http://www.ledgersentinel.com/article.asp?a=5737 |date=2006-12-21 |accessdate=2008-02-15 |title=Strong opinions on Prairie Parkway plans |publisher=Oswego Ledger-Sentinel |author=Scott, Tony] The freeway was built primarily to connect Interstate 80 to a steel plant in Hennepin. However, the steel plant closed soon after I-180 was built, and did not re-open until August 2002. Although the steel plant is now operational, I-180 is still one of the least traveled interstates in the nation, serving 2,000 – 3,450 vehicles per day as of 2005.User:Lpangelrob/T2 ref]
Exit list
The Illinois Department of Transportation does not provide exit numbers for any exits on I-180. The whole route is in Bureau County.
