Illinois Route 152

IL 152 begins in Pyatts at a four-way rural intersection. Perry County Route 4 continues west past the intersection, and the concurrency of IL 13 and IL 127 heads north and south. The highway, which is locally known as Main Street for its entire length, heads east from this intersection toward Du Quoin. It intersects with several local roads and crosses two creeks before meeting Perry County Route 25 at a 3-way intersection 4.8 miles (7.7 km) from its western end. After passing CR 25, the road heads northeast for a short distance before turning east into Du Quoin. It terminates at a four-way intersection with U.S. Route 51 and Perry County Route 7 on the west side of Du Quoin, a distance of 6.76 miles (10.88 km) from its start. CR 7 picks up the Main Street name and continues east into downtown Du Quoin, and US 51 travels north and south from the junction. IL 152 is one of the shorter routes on the Illinois State Highway System.

The road which is currently Route 152 first appeared on Illinois highway maps in 1924, though it was not marked at the time.[4] This road was removed from the state highway map in 1926 and returned to the map in 1928 as Route 152.[5][6] The routing of Illinois 152 has not changed since its inception as part of the second set of SBI Routes in 1924.[2]

The entire route is in Perry County.
