Route 905 - Maxwell Road Connector
Route 905 comprises a 1.03 mile long expressway between Interstate 474 at Exit 3 and Maxwell Road (County Route R46) at Bellevue just west of Peoria. The controlled access route was constructed as the easternmost portion of a proposed expressway for IL 336 linking Peoria with Macomb. The only sign referencing Route 905 is a milepost posted at the west end.
All signs posted along the expressway were replaced by August 2011.
