Route description
Illinois 351 is the former Business U.S. Route 51 through La Salle. It crosses over the Illinois River on the Shippingsport Bridge south of La Salle and passes underneath the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Bridge as it climbs out of the Illinois River Valley. Like Illinois Route 251, Illinois 351 can be considered a spur off its parent, U.S. Route 51.
History
Prior to 1963, U.S. Route 51 ran along this route. From 1963 to 1966, it became Business U.S. 51 as U.S. 51 was rerouted west of La Salle in 1966. It then was changed to Illinois Route 351 as U.S. 51 was rerouted onto a new freeway (Interstate 39) to the east of La Salle in 1992(?).
Major intersections
The entire route is in La Salle County.
