IL 119 begins at an intersection with US 136 and IL 1 in rural South Ross Township east of Henning. The highway heads east through farmland and crosses the North Fork Vermilion River. South of Alvan, the road turns southward, paralleling a CSX Transportation line. The highway then turns east, passing through farmland until its eastern terminus at the Indiana state line, where it continues toward Williamsport as Indiana State Road 28.[3] It is an undivided, two-lane surface road for its entire length.[4]
History
SBI Route 119 originally traveled from Heyworth (at the present-day intersection of US 51 and US 136) to the Indiana state line using US 136 and IL 119. In 1937, it replaced IL 119A and IL 122 west to Havana at the Illinois River.[5] In 1951, however, US 136 was established across the state of Illinois. US 136 took over all of IL 119 west of IL 1, leaving the short route to Indiana.[2]
