History
Northern section
In the 1960s, SR 39 was the connector between the west end of I-94 and the Indiana Toll Road. Hence, a dozen miles of this winding 2-lane road carried all the heavy traffic between Chicago and Detroit.In 2010, the section of SR 39 between Monrovia and Belleville was greatly improved and re-paved.
