Provide efficient east-west mobility for all users throughout the corridor

Develop a corridor that can handle travel demand in a safe manner to support the economic vitality of the County

The Will County Division of Transportation (WCDOT) is performing a Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) study over approximately 22 miles along Wilmington-Peotone Road between Interstate 55 and Drecksler Road. Growth is occurring rapidly across Will County as evidenced by new freight clusters along the Wilmington-Peotone corridor that are challenging the roadway infrastructure. The purpose of this project is to provide efficient east-west mobility for all users throughout the corridor. A systematic approach is necessary to understand the existing and future travel demand and develop a corridor that can handle demand in a safe manner to support the economic vitality of the County.

Project Purpose and Need

The purpose of this project is to improve safety, enhance mobility for all users through providing an efficient east-west connection, and support current and future travel demand throughout the corridor.
The needs for this project are to address deficiencies in the existing roadway and multimodal infrastructure and accommodate growth in local and regional traffic to improve mobility throughout the county.
