Metropolitan Statistical Areas Economic Profile MSA After it crosses the Illinois border, I-39 passes through Beloit, Janesville, Madison, Portage, Stevens Point and Wausau, WI. I-39 begins at I-55 in Bloomington-Normal, and passes through the areas of Rochelle and Rockford, IL. No other portions of the facility are currently tolled. I-39, as a concurrent facility with I-90, is tolled as part of the Jane Addams Toll way. In Illinois, I-39 is also listed as a truck route from its intersection with I-55 to the Wisconsin border. I-39 is listed as a designated truck route in Wisconsin. US-51 continues and terminates at the northern border of Wisconsin (2). In Wisconsin, I-39 runs concurrently with I-90 and I-94 and with US-51. In Illinois, the route was conceived of a part of a supplementary freeway system that would provide any Illinois resident access to an interstate highway within 30 minutes.Īs an emerging corridor with moderate truck traffic that spans two states, the intestate connections of I-39 provide critical connections and redundancy for freight movement. For a period, US-51 was considered one the most heavily traveled two-lane routes in the country (1). And while freight loads are not overwhelming on the majority of the route, it provides an important connection to agriculture, forestry, and industry in northern Wisconsin. The need for I-39 was identified in 1945 with the original planning for the 40,000 miles of interstate highways. At Wausau, US-51 continues into northern Wisconsin.
Continuing north, the route continues as US-51/I-39 to Rib Mountain, WI in the Wausau area. And at Madison, WI I-94 also runs concurrently with I-39. From Rockford, Illinois to Portage, Wisconsin, it is also signed as I-90 in Wisconsin. In Illinois, I-39 is concurrently signed as US-51. I-39 does not extend to states outside of the MAFC region. I-39 is considered a Tier 1 and emerging corridor in the MAFC region due to its connections to I-55 in Illinois, and I-90 and I-94 in Wisconsin. I-39 is north-south route connecting Wisconsin and Illinois in the MAFC region.
