This business loop commences a 9.66 mile long route from Interstate 44 at Exit 72. It follows Chestnut Expressway east to Glenstone Avenue, then turns north on Glenstone to rejoin Interstate 44 at Exit 80. Glenstone Avenue is old U.S. 65, and Chestnut Expressway east to College Street is old U.S. 66 and later U.S. 66 Business (east from U.S. 160 / West Bypass). Chestnut Expressway was constructed north by the early 1960s as the original bypass for Downtown Springfield.
