Route description


Illinois 147 is a two-lane surface road for its entire length. It runs through central portions of Shawnee National Forest. Illinois 147 also serves Simpson.



History


SBI Route 147 was originally the road from Marion to Cairo. The stretch from Mounds to Marion was designated as part of the Egyptian Highway in February 1933.[3] In 1942, this road became Illinois Route 37. Illinois 147 then replaced what was Illinois Route 142A from McLeansboro to Wayne City. In 1947, Illinois 142A became Illinois Route 142; Illinois 147 was again moved to its current Vienna-to-Glendale routing.[1]


IL 147 east of Vienna is commonly referred to by locals as "The Simpson Blacktop".
