This improvement is included in IDOT's FY 2075-2020 Proposed Multi-Modal Transportation lmprovement Program. Our current
engineering efforts are targeted to enable a contract letting in the early years of our current multi-year program contingent upon
plan readiness, land acquisition, and funding availability through our future annual legislative appropriations.
