US 34 Expansion Gulfport to Biggsville

The Illinois Department of Transportation held a virtual public hearing for the proposed expansion of U.S. 34 from two to four lanes from Gulfport to Biggsville from 5 to 7 p.m. on Nov. 17.

The project will begin west of the intersection of Carman Road and U.S. 34 and end at the western end of the Biggsville bypass. Alternatives were evaluated to determine if there is a practicable construction option within the 6 miles of the U.S. 34 alignment in the 100-year floodplain. Construction will elevate the expanded U.S. 34 to the 500-year floodplain elevation due to modifications made to the regulatory floodplain boundaries for the Mississippi River.

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.
