Notes

The Abraham Lincoln Memorial Bridge over the Illinois River south of La Salle, Illinois.

• Future plans call for Interstate 39 to be extended north from Wausau to Merrill, Wisconsin along the U.S. Highway 51 freeway, which is Interstate standard, but it was not signed as Interstate as of May 2005. This is most likely due to a long-term improvement project on US-51 which will not be completed until 2010.

• Despite its Interstate status many residents of central Wisconsin still refer to I-39 as Highway 51 and in Stevens Point and Wausau one can find numerous "TO 51" road signs but very few "TO 39" signs.

• I-39 in Plover, Wisconsin separates the Good and Evil Watertowers.

• The southern terminus of I-39 in Normal, Illinois is very close (about two miles) to Interstate 74.

• I-39 is the owner of the Illinois version of the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Bridge, which spans the Illinois River in north central Illinois.

• For all but one of the 139 miles (224 km) that Interstate 39 is in Illinois, it is multiplexed with U.S. Highway 51.

• The stretch from Portage, Wisconsin to Madison, Wisconsin, where I-39 runs concurrently with I-90 and I-94, is the longest such stretch of three interstates in the country.

• At one point, Interstate 39 was a studied alternative for the unbuilt Peoria-to-Chicago Highway.
