Interstate 57 (I-57) runs from North Little Rock, Arkansas, to Chicago, Illinois, providing a major north–south route through the central United States. Its Arkansas leg is signed I-57 in stages as each section of US 67 is upgraded, which is why the published length is shorter than the one measured on this page. It passes through cities such as Sikeston, Charleston, Cairo, Effingham, Champaign, Kankakee, and Chicago.

| State | Miles | Share | Cities and mile markers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arkansas | 122 | 24% | Little Rock 0 · Jonesboro 108 (17 mi off) |
| Missouri | 22 | 4% | Sikeston 0 |
| Illinois | 358 | 71% | Mount Vernon 93 · Effingham 160 · Champaign 238 · Chicago 358 (11 mi off) |
Mile markers count from each state's southern line and start again at the next one, which is how most states number their exits as well. They are measured along the same road geometry these pages draw, so they land within a mile or two of the posted markers. A toll road that runs its own continuous numbering is the exception — on the New York Thruway the posts continue from New York City — and there the figure is how far into the state the place is rather than the number on the sign. Distances are measured state by state, never across a gap. Missouri carries too little of the road for a page of its own — under the 25 miles that separate two markers on the map above — so it is named without a link.
