It was approximately in length, and followed much of the route of IL 116, prior to its decommissioning. SBI Route 116 originally traveled separately from east of Ashkum to East Peoria. US 124 was one of the original 1928 US routes in Illinois, since US routes didn't appear on Illinois maps until then. It originally went from Peoria to Galesburg , along with the then IL 8 , via Farmington and Maquon on the route of the current IL 116, west from Peoria to IL 97, north to IL 8, west to IL 97, then northwest on IL 97 to Galesburg, with the last few miles on the current US 150 . In 1934, US 124 was rerouted west on the current IL 116 to near Biggsville, where it connected to US 34 , for access to the Mississippi River crossing into Iowa. Westbound traffic from Peoria had a choice. Proceed along US 24 to cross the Mississippi River at Quincy – the old Peoria to Quincy stagecoach route, or take US 124 to cross the Mississippi River at Burlington, Iowa. With the completion of Interstate 474 as a western bypass of Peoria in 1978, an Interstate connector was constructed as the eastern terminus for the proposed western Illinois expressway. The connector provides access to IL 116.Related routes Illinois Route 97A was a short rural spur that ran from IL 97 south of Media , south to the community of Raritan . 1937 IL-97A was a spur off the current IL-116, Media to Raritan. This 1924 route designation was dropped. 1938 - US Route 124 was decommissioned and changed to Illinois 116 as an extension of that route in east central Illinois. Illinois 116 was a popular agricultural and commercial truck route from Burlington, Iowa to Peoria, Illinois during World War II and through the late 1960s. This was due to the: Iowa Army Ammunition Plant near Burlington; active strip mining of coal in Fulton County ; farm livestock traffic to the Peoria stockyards; and grain transport to the Illinois and Mississippi barge terminals.Major intersections
