Illinois State Highway System

Interstate 57 (I-57) is an Interstate Highway in Missouri and Illinois that parallels the old Illinois Central rail line for much of its route. It goes from Sikeston, Missouri, at Interstate 55 to Chicago, Illinois, at Interstate 94. I-57 essentially serves as a shortcut route for travelers headed between the south (Memphis, New Orleans, etc.) and Chicago, bypassing St. Louis, Missouri. Between the junction of I-55 and I-57 in Sikeston, Missouri and the junction of I-55 and I-90/94 in Chicago, I-55 travels for 436 miles (702 km), while the combination of I-57 and I-94 is only 396 miles (637 km) long between the same two points. In fact, both the control cities on the overhead signs, as well as destination mileage signs, reference Memphis along southbound I-57, even as far north as its northern origin at I-94 in Chicago. Likewise, at its southern end, Chicago is the control city listed for I-57 on signs on northbound I-55 south of Sikeston, Missouri, even though I-55 also goes to Chicago.[2]
As of 2015, I-57 has no spur routes, nor are any planned for the near future. At a length of just over 386 miles (621 km), it is the second longest two-digit Interstate Highway without an auxiliary route, behind I-49. I-57 has one business loop in Charleston, Missouri.

Cairo I-57 bridge between Missouri and Illinois
In the state of Missouri, Interstate 57 runs northbound from Sikeston to the Cairo I-57 Bridge over the Mississippi River south of Cairo, Illinois.
After ending southbound at Interstate 55, the highway continues as U.S. Route 60, which meets U.S. Route 67 at Poplar Bluff, Missouri, and from there U.S. Route 67 goes south to Little Rock, Arkansas.
From the start of I-57 northbound, the US 60 concurrency goes about 12 miles (19 km).

Sony nex 6 user manual pdf. In the state of Illinois, Interstate 57 runs from the bridge over the Mississippi River north to Chicago. I-57 is the longest Interstate Highway in Illinois. Its route follows essentially the earlier route of US 51 in southernmost Illinois (US 51 has been diverted to I-57 where I-57 has always been close to old US 51 between Future City and Dongola) before taking a northeastward diagonal to Illinois 37, which remains intact as a town-to-town through route, past its interchange with Interstate 24 (the northwestern terminus of Interstate 24) near Pulleys Mill and a short duplex with Interstate 64 near Mount Vernon north to Effingham, where it has a short concurrence with Interstate 70. It then follows US 45 bypassing cities of Champaign and Urbana (where it meets Interstates 72 and 74), and heads north to Onarga whereafter it follows the formerly duplex path of US 45 and (now decommissioned in most of Illinois) old US 54 to Kankakee. At Kankakee it heads northward largely parallel to the now decommissioned route of old US 54 (since renumbered largely as Illinois 50) into the Chicago area, meeting Interstate 80 in Hazel Crest, Interstate 294 in Blue Island, and feeding Interstate 94 on Chicago's South Side.
Although I-57 serves as a long-distance bypass of St. Louis, the section between Mount Vernon and Pulleys Mill contains the most direct Interstate route between St. Louis and cities largely to the southeast of St. Louis (including Nashville and Atlanta). It serves as the northwestern terminus of Interstate 24 that leads southeastward to those cities and as the eastern terminus of Interstate 72 near Champaign.
The route is an easy way for Chicagoans to reach Shawnee National Forest in the southern tip of the state. It also serves as a major artery for college students in the state, running near Shawnee Community College in Ullin, the main campus of Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, John A. Logan College in Carterville, Morthland College in West Frankfort, Rend Lake College in Ina, Lake Land College in Mattoon, Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Parkland College in Champaign, University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign in Urbana–Champaign, Kankakee Community College in Kankakee, Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, and Governors State University in University Park. Interstate 57 and Interstate 294 (Tri-State Tollway) did not have an intersection for a long time, though phase one finally opened on October 25, 2014.[3] It was one of only a few examples where Interstates cross but didn't have interchanges with each other. Vehicles were directed to use Interstate 80 to access Interstate 294 instead, though U.S. Route 6 was another option.
I-57 remains the only Chicago expressway that does not have a commonly used name. Its Chicago-area portion was formerly known as the Dan Ryan Expressway–West Leg. I-57 was named the Ken Gray Expressway in southern Illinois after former U.S. Congressman Ken Gray (West Frankfort) for his work on getting the route planned through southern Illinois. A 20-mile (32 km) segment from Wentworth to Sauk Trail has been designated the Tuskegee Airmen Memorial Trail[4] but this is not intended as a navigational name.
History[edit]
The first section of Interstate 57 to be completed was a 30-mile (48 km) stretch from Dongola north to Marion, Illinois. It was opened on September 26, 1961.[5]
Another portion between the IL 121/US 45 exit and the Watson–Mason exit was completed and opened prior to July 1965, linking I-57 to I-70, and running in tandem with I-70 for several miles, with access to Indianapolis to the east, and St. Louis to the west.[citation needed]
https://dntree832.weebly.com/blog/google-home-mini-spotify-free-account. A 21.5-mile (34.6 km) section of I-57 in Jefferson County from Bonnie (using a temporary road that is still partially visible from the northbound lanes) to IL 161 later opened on December 9, 1969.[6]
The portion of I-57 in Chicago (known as the Dan Ryan West Leg Extension) was constructed and opened in segments between 1963 and 1970. It remains the most recent Interstate Highway to be established within the city.[5]
The final section of I-57 in Illinois opened in December 1971 at Paxton.[7]
The portion of I-43 from Milwaukee to Green Bay was originally numbered as Interstate 57.[8] The number was changed due to the existence of I-57 in Illinois.[9]
I-57 was widened to six lanes in Effingham from 2011 until 2016.[10]
Future[edit]
574 Area Code
Future Interstate 57 in North Little Rock.
I-57 is slated to eventually be extended west along US 60 to Poplar Bluff, Missouri, and then south along the US 67 corridor to North Little Rock, ending at I-40. In April 2016, a provision designating US 67 from North Little Rock to Walnut Ridge, Arkansas, as 'Future I-57' was added into the federal fiscal year 2017 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development funding bill, and officially became law in 2017.[11] Missouri has already upgraded the 50 miles (80 km) of US 60 between Sikeston and Poplar Bluff, and 12 miles (19 km) of US 67 from Poplar Bluff to Route 158 near Harviell (about 12 miles [19 km] north of the Arkansas state line) to a mixture of freeway and expressway segments. All at-grade crossings along the corridor would have to be eliminated before the Interstate designation could be applied.[12] In Arkansas, 118 miles (190 km) of Interstate-grade US 67 runs from I-40 to US 412 in Walnut Ridge, leaving a segment of 60 miles (97 km) of new Interstate-grade highway along US 67 that still needs to be built in northeast Arkansas and southern Missouri.[13] On February 23, 2018, Arkansas state officials unveiled a 'Future I-57' sign to be posted along the corridor of US 67.[14]
The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has proposed widening a section of I-57 to six lanes of traffic from I-24 to I-64.[15] This section of Interstate has some of the highest annual average daily traffic on I-57 outside of the Chicago metropolitan area, with truck traffic comprising up to 30% of all traffic.[16] This section of I-57 has been the site of several Interstate-closing accidents in the past 10 years, including an incident involving a train derailment over the Interstate near Benton in July 2004 and several fatal accidents in various construction zones.[17] The portion in Mt. Vernon that includes the concurrent segment of I-64 was to be widened by 2013 with construction having begun in late 2011.[18]
IDOT and the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority are building an interchange at the junction of I-57 with I-294.[19] On October 25, 2014, the first phase of the interchange opened, providing access from I-57 north to I-294 north and from I-294 south to I-57 south. Phase One also provided access from I-294 south to 147th Street and 147th Street to I-294 north. Phase Two will open in 2023–2024.

It’s fair to say Grant Borner knows a thing or two about computers. He was a mainframe operator, responsible for checking his firm’s processing systems, before he was made redundant in 2017. Yet even Borner struggled to complete his online application for universal credit when he was moved on to the government’s flagship benefit scheme last year.
“Not having the internet at home is a nightmare. I had to stop it to reduce my bills,” he says. “I went around to my parents’ house and used theirs but I got timed out after 45 minutes – I lost everything. I tried it several times but it wasn’t having it.”

Borner had to go to the job centre in Harlow on four different occasions that week to complete his application for the digital-by-default benefit, which combines six different payments into one. The delay meant the 57-year-old had to wait even longer than the then six-week delay for his first payment and was forced to use a food bank. “Without that food bank I wouldn’t have had a thing,” he says.
Borner’s struggle is far from unusual. The Department of Work and Pensions’ (DWP) own survey data suggests 46% of people claiming universal credit need help applying online. The same data shows that a quarter of applicants who fail to submit their claims online put it down to difficulties accessing computers or the internet.
The government expects people to make and manage their claims online, but last year the UN’s rapporteur on extreme poverty, Philip Alston, noted that just over half of people on low incomes in the UK do not have home broadband and 21% of the entire population do not have basic digital skills. Alston said the digital-by-default design of the universal credit system may be contributing to the third of claims never reaching payment, and accused ministers of putting up digital barriers “that effectively obstruct many individuals’ access to their entitlements”.

Borner is still living with the consequences of that traumatic week, as he is paying off a loan from his job centre which he took out to cover his bills. This leaves him £292 a month. After bills he has about £2 a day for essentials like food. “I have to scrounge off my parents – they feed me,” he says. “I’m 57 years old and I should be looking after those pair of poor old sods. He’s 81. She’s 78.” https://yellowbudget520.weebly.com/blog/league-of-legends-mac-sirria-download.
Borner also has to go to his parents to manage his claim, which requires claimants to record 30 hours of job hunting every week in an online journal. If he fails to update his journal he risks being sanctioned and having his benefit cut. “It’s a worry because I don’t have the internet at home,” he says.
Charities warn such digital requirements could have serious implications for 3 million existing claimants, including thousands unable to work because of disability or illness, due to be moved over to universal credit from 2020. Initially, 10,000 people will be transferred in a pilot starting this July. They will then be followed next year by millions of people claiming disability and unemployment benefits.
Mental health charity Mind is concerned that vulnerable claimants may be left penniless when they have to make claims online, as the government has refused to transfer people over to the new system automatically. “There is a risk that if you fail to make a claim in the time window there is nothing to stop you losing your money altogether,” says Paul Spencer, Mind’s policy and campaigns manager.

The department’s 2018 report showed that nearly 40% of people with long-term health conditions find the application process difficult and 53% need ongoing support with their claims.
Spencer says the system has not been designed to take into account the barriers people face. “Too many people do not have access to computer or to the internet to make a claim.”

Problems don’t end once people have applied. Citizens Advice, which will be providing advice to universal credit claimants from April under a government scheme, says the benefit doesn’t take into account people’s actual circumstances.

“People are expected to monitor their online journals in almost real time. They get notifications for meetings and instructions in their online journals,” says Kayley Hignell, Citizens Advice head of welfare policy. “But many of our clients don’t have the internet at home or lack digital skills and may not get these messages. They then run the risk of getting sanctioned.”
Spencer says these threats can exacerbate illnesses and stop people applying for help. “The cumulative effect is that it sets people back. People are being made unwell or dropping out of the benefit system.”
Sixty-one-year-old Anne-Marie, who has been struggling with depression for 20 years, was told to apply for universal credit at the end of January when her husband, who has dementia, was taken into a care home in Oxfordshire. However, she had to seek help from her local Mind branch because she has few computer skills and cannot afford an internet connection.
“I’m absolutely hopeless on computers,” she says. “Applying was awful. We started at 11 in the morning and eventually we got through at 2 in the afternoon because the computer kept on crashing.” Out of desperation she phoned the universal credit helpline and was given an appointment at her job centre, where she was finally added to the system. She now has a five-week wait for any money.
“For the first time in my life I went to a food bank last week. It was humiliating for a woman of my age to go to a food bank,” she says. “I was never brought up to go begging or live off the state. I was told to make your own way in life.”

Despite lacking even a smartphone, Anne-Marie is expected to manage her claim online. “I’m getting anxious. If you don’t fill in your journal you get sanctioned and then how do I pay my rent? That makes you feel closer and closer to becoming homeless.”
Former railway trackman Josh, who hasn’t been able work since he had a serious heart attack and stroke three years ago, was told to apply for universal credit when his disability benefit was wrongly stopped.

“You are meant to go on online and do things which I find impossible. I cannot fathom it to be honest with you. I’m on such a low amount money I cannot afford the internet. I’ve got a really bad phone. I run out of 3G all the time,” says Josh, who lost 20% of his brain function in the stroke.
He says it is difficult for him to get online elsewhere. “I’m in a village. There isn’t any library in three miles of here,” he says. Josh has had to rely on his sister and girlfriend. “If they weren’t there to help me then I would probably be homeless by now. I needed them to do the online stuff because I couldn’t do it myself.”

The DWP insists people without internet access can use thousands of free computers in job centres and public libraries. It says applications can be made in person or on the phone. “Around 98% of people claim online, and the majority found the process easy,” says a spokesperson.
This doesn’t reassure Anne-Marie. She worries she won’t be able to survive on universal credit. “I don’t know whether I will be around in five years. I might end my life because the way things are going.”
