It's now a major state highway that runs about 80 miles through a bunch of suburbs & exurbs, though part of it is on interstate highways.
The route "kitsch" starts farther south than us where it just becomes frontage roads and othe state highways & city streets. I've never taken the road south of Bloomington though.
