This area is designed to provides IDOT’s target audiences with our story, past, current, and our vision for tomorrow, as well as provide information on employment and training opportunities and how to stay connected and get involved with transportation efforts near you.
This area is designed to provide a broad overview of the Illinois transportation system that our public partners and stakeholders can utilize to plan the transportation vision, develop sensible policies and make decisions that reflect and meet the needs of Illinois citizens and transportation users.
This area is designed to be a one-stop resource for business functions in a way that supports transparency, inclusion and fair business practices.
This area is designed to provide information for all transportation users from a multi-modal perspective, to include specialized resources such as interactive maps, safety-focused videos, and other traveler resources to enrich the Illinois travel experience.
The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) are initiating a Preliminary Engineering and Environmental Study (Phase I Engineering) to analyze improving the east-west travel ways between the intersection of IL Route 3 and IL Route 146 and Interstate 57 in Alexander, Pulaski, and Union Counties. This study, referred to as the Shawnee Parkway, will take a detailed look at the transportation system within the study area to address the lack of east-west roadways, reduce travel times, improve traffic safety, and provide for economic opportunities.
This engineering and environmental study will be balanced with the input of stakeholders including farmers, residents, business owners, environmental groups, economic organizations, educational facilities, health care services and local government to determine the best possible solution for the area.
