Route description

ILL 152 begins in Pyatts at a four-way rural intersection. Perry County Route 4 continues west past the intersection, and the concurrency of ILL 13 and ILL 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. ILL 152 is one of the shorter routes on the Illinois State Highway System.
