Drive Character
Expect a turn-heavy local drive rather than a monotonous interstate cruise. Since this route maintains a zero percent highway share, you will be staying off the main interstates for the entire 58.5-mile duration.

There is no long-distance, uninterrupted highway stretch to speak of, as the drive consists entirely of local roads like Calvary Road. You will find that the personality of this trip is defined by its constant, active driving rather than high-speed highway cruising.
Most of the miles stay on highways, which makes pacing and fuel planning easier than turn-by-turn city driving.
There are about 11 navigation steps in the underlying route data, so the final approach matters more than the middle miles.
I 57 is the longest continuous segment at about 28.1 miles.
