History

SBI Route 113 was the name of both roads on the north and south sides of the Kankakee River from Diamond (between Coal City and Braidwood on Interstate 55) to Kankakee. In 1940, the route became "Illinois Route 113N" and "Illinois Route 113S", with 113N as the northern route and 113S as the southern, with 113S used as the western end to "U.S. Route 66" (now Interstate 55). In 1961, Illinois 113S became Illinois Route 113, and 113N was renamed Illinois Route 102.
