The Will County Division of Transportation is conducting a transportation mobility study to find strategies to better accommodate travel through eastern Will County while maintaining quality of life. This study is using the Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) approach to assess options for improving mobility and safety for citizens and freight carriers. Initial findings from the PEL study will move into more detailed studies over the next 2-3 years.

Will County DOT intends to adopt or incorporate by reference the PEL study into the project’s subsequent NEPA process. Scoping for the NEPA process is anticipated to begin in Summer 2023.
