Interstate 57 (abbreviated I-57) is an interstate highway in the midwestern United States. It goes from Miner, Missouri at Interstate 55 to Chicago, Illinois at Interstate 94. Interstate 57 serves as a de-facto bypass route for travelers from the south on Interstate 55 who are headed on their way to Chicago instead of going through St. Louis.
As of 2007, I-57 has no spur routes, nor are any planned in the near future.

Interstate 57 runs through the following states:
[edit] Missouri
In the state of Missouri, Interstate 57 runs from Miner to the Cairo I-57 Bridge over the Mississippi River south of Cairo, Illinois.
After ending at Interstate 55, the highway continues as U.S. Highway 60, which meets U.S. Highway 67 at Poplar Bluff, Missouri and from here US 67 goes south to Little Rock, Arkansas. The state of Missouri has proposed extending the I-57 designation down this corridor. However, this plan conflicts with Arkansas' plans to extend the Interstate 30 designation north on US 67, a road of which a long section already meets Interstate highway standards.
[edit] Illinois
In the state of Illinois, Interstate 57 runs from the bridge over the Mississippi River north to Chicago. I-57 is the longest Interstate highway in Illinois. It serves as a major artery for college students in the state, it runs near Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in Urbana-Champaign and Eastern Illinois University in Charleston.
