Roads of the Mid-South & West > Highways of the State of Illinois > Chester Truck By-Pass; Chester, Illinois


At Chester, Illinois, Illinois State Route 3 passes through the downtown area. In Downtown Chester, there are several tight turns at intersections. Most semi tractor-trailers can not make these turns, thus the by-pass was set-up.
