Illinois 176 is an east-west route through northeast Illinois, from Marengo to the shore of Lake Michigan near the Waukegan area.

Intersections from west to east:

IL176 begins at IL23 just north of US20 at Marengo

IL176 joins IL47 southbound

IL47 splits off and heads south

US14 by Crystal Lake

IL31 at Crystal Lake

US12/IL59 by Wauconda

IL60/IL83

US45 at Mundelein

IL21 in Libertyville

I-94 to/from the south*

IL43

US41

IL176 endsIL131** at Lake Bluff.

It passes through these towns: Marengo, Crystal Lake, Island Lake, Wauconda, Mundelein, Libertyville, Lake Bluff.

*- If you want to access IL176 from I-94 coming from the north, exit at IL137 and go to:

US41 south if want to be going east or

IL21 south if you want to go west. Use these roads if you want to go northbound on I-94 from IL176.

**- IL176's end in the east is also IL131's southern end. It's an awkward setup, especially when a similar setup exists a few miles away, but the north-south stretch and the east-west one share the same number (I'm talking about IL137). Why can't IL131 just be an extension of IL176?
