The Will County Division of Transportation (DOT) is conducting a transportation mobility study to identify strategies to enhance freight travel through Eastern Will County while maintaining a high quality of life for stakeholders living within the project area. This study is using the Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) approach to assess options for improving mobility and safety for citizens and freight carriers. 

As a next step, Will County DOT, in partnership with IDOT Bureau of Local Roads and Streets (BLRS) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is initiating a Phase I Preliminary Engineering and Environmental Study in Summer 2024.
