A survey has revealed the most feared road in Illinois. And Iroquois County has a distinct connection. 

According to Gunter Mitsubishi, Route 24 is the worst in Illinois, ranking number 19 out of 50 overall across the country. The highway runs 255 miles through the middle of the state from the Mississippi River to the Indiana border. Of course, that runs right thru Iroquois County, Gilman, Crescent City, Watseka and Sheldon – all tied to the two-lane highway. Route 24 has long been labeled as a key road for development in these rural parts.

As for being called the “most feared road,” the stretch of road saw 23 crashes between 2010 and 2015, resulting in 30 injuries. The survey involved 3,000 motorists.
