[[File:Quincy Transportation Map.jpg|thumb|Quincy transportation map]]
[[Interstate 72]] passes approximately {{convert|12|mi}} south of Quincy. Its spur route, [[Interstate 172]], passes just east of town. In recent years, the Prairie Trails Shopping Complex has been a focal point for development in this area. [[Illinois Route 104]] (Broadway) is a main east–west artery from the Mississippi River bridges to Interstate 172. [[Illinois Route 96]] enters the city from the southeast and travels north (through the east side of Quincy) to [[U.S. Route 24]]. [[Illinois Route 57]] branches south from U.S. 24 downtown and passes Quincy's Civic Center on its way to Interstate 172 southeast of the city. Illinois 96 also serves as the [[Great River Road]], which follows the path of the Mississippi River. Eastbound U.S. 24 crosses the Mississippi River from [[Missouri]] on the [[Quincy Memorial Bridge]], while westbound traffic uses the newer [[Bayview Bridge]]. Bayview bridge was constructed in 1986, but was not built as a four-lane bridge because of budget cuts, as the cable suspension made it unaffordable to build a four-lane bridge. Other groups claimed that business in the downtown part of Quincy would decline if the Memorial bridge was shut down.{{citation needed|date=September 2010}}

On the Missouri side, [[U.S. Route 61 in Missouri|U.S. 61]] carries the [[Avenue of the Saints]], a four-lane highway connecting [[St. Louis, Missouri|Saint Louis]] to [[Minneapolis–Saint Paul]]. The Avenue of the Saints derives its name from Saint Louis and [[Saint Paul, Minnesota]].

Quincy is at the center of four-lane highways in all directions:
* The Avenue of the Saints passes just five miles to the west and is four-lane from Canada to the [[Gulf of Mexico]].
* Illinois Highway 172 is part of the newly designated Route 110/CKC (Chicago–Kansas City Expressway) which offers a less-congested alternative route to these popular Midwest destinations.
