Illinois 64 has one alternate route; Illinois Truck Route 64, a bypass around a truck-prohibited, residential section of Elmhurst. Eastbound truck traffic is rerouted north along Illinois Route 83, east along U.S. Highway 20 (Lake Street) and then onto Interstate 290 before being allowed to return to Illinois 64. Westbound truck traffic follows the same route in reverse. This route was established when the road was reconstructed from 1996 to 1999 to ease traffic concerns. The village of Elmhurst then successfully petitioned the state to make the route permanent after noting the positive effects of the move.

History

SBI Route 64 was Illinois 64 from Sycamore to Chicago. In 1937 it was extended west to what was then U.S. Route 51 (and is now Illinois Route 251). Afterwards, it was extended further west to U.S. Route 52, and then following it to the state line. Much like Illinois Route 92, there is no particular reason for extending Route 64 through Iowa and Nebraska, as existing U.S. Routes served any major cities on the State Route 64s better.^[1].
