The fastest road is mostly not the nicest one. It makes more fun to drive between the major roads. Nice people, small villages and some interesting views is what makes me like biking.
to many questions to ask - not enough info here! are you in a hurry,site seeing,2-up or a "run&gun" get there and back type of ride??? You could take I-57 out of Chi. to 54 at Onarga/Gilman( just south of hwy 24) head S.W. to Louisiana , Mo and then turn S. on 61 and head toward St. Louis, Or if interstate is your deal - you could do I-57 all the way to Effingham,Ill and grab I-70 and roll into town Or if --- see what I mean!!! Just remember to pack rain suits and warm clothes - they are talking snow flurries here Sat. nite / Sunday AM!!! Also watch the low areas, wave after wave of rain since last Thurs rolled across.

I'm gonna try to make it but I may have to work. If I go I'm not sure what time I'll be there.
If you have the time drive Route 52 over to Savanna, Il. eat at Poopy's then follow the Mississppi river down to St Louis. The Mississppi is a great ride lots of twisty roads both sides. Also if you like Casino's you can stop and stay at many of those along the way. There is a place called Catfish Bay in Burlington IA Casino and resort thats fun. Just be carefull at night as the deer tend to run after dark.
