Welcome to the homepage for the Wilmington-Peotone Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) Study conducted by the Will County Division of Transportation.
Understand the existing and future travel demand
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.
