Driving in Pittsfield as a New Driver
U.S. 54 and Illinois Route 107
Pike County's Highway Department gives official directions from I-72 Exit 35, identified as the Griggsville/Pittsfield exit, south on U.S. 54/Illinois Route 107 toward Pittsfield.
That gives Pittsfield a direct link between:
Interstate traffic
U.S. highway traffic
State-route traffic
City streets
Rural county roads
Current County Highway 2 and 14 Work
As of August 21, 2026, Pike County reported that full-depth reclamation and cold-in-place recycling on County Highways 2 and 14 had been completed and were curing.
Surface-profile milling was underway on CH-14, with paving scheduled to follow.
This is genuinely current road information and should be reviewed periodically.

250th

370th avenues.
The county warned of fresh oil and loose gravel.
For a beginning driver:

Increase following distance.
Avoid abrupt steering.
Expect loose stone.
270th Avenue Closure
The same current county notice states that 270th Avenue is closed east of 335th Street in Pittsfield Township until further notice, with the closure expected to last several weeks.
This is temporary and should be removed from the live page once reopened.
