Will County - I55 (Lorenzo Road) Project Study

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) invites you to participate in the virtual public outreach for the preliminary engineering and environmental study (Phase I) for the improvement of Interstate 55 (I-55) at Lorenzo Road and at Illinois Route 129 (IL 129) in Will County. Instead of hosting a regular public meeting, IDOT will conduct virtual public outreach to share details on the project and encourage public participation until December 14, 2020 through a new website.

On the website, the public can watch a video about the project, explore exhibits including the alternatives carried forward and leave comments.

Written comments can be submitted via email, mailed or submitted through the above website.  Comments received by December 14, 2020 will become part of the official public outreach record.

Note: IDOT projects typically have three distinct phases. Phase I (or the project Study) consists of developing the project scope, environmental studies and preliminary design of a project. Phase II (Design) consists of refining the design to develop contract plans and land acquisition. Phase III (Construction) consists of the actual construction of the project.
