IDOT Initiates I-55 Managed Lane Project

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is initiating the I-55 Managed Lane Project following the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) will complete an environmental evaluation for the Managed Lane Project in order to satisfy NEPA requirements.

This project will study an addition of one managed lane in each direction (generally within the existing median of I-55). The study area begins at I-355 and continues east to I-90/94. Read more »
