IL 83 / 137 Study
The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) would like to thank everyone who participated in the Virtual Public Outreach for the Preliminary Engineering and Environmental Study (Phase I) for the improvement of Illinois Route 83 (IL 83) from Illinois Route 132 (IL 132) to Illinois Route 120 (IL 120) and Illinois Route 137 (IL 137) from IL 83 to east of US Route 45 (US 45) in Lake County. Instead of hosting a regular Public Meeting, IDOT shared details on the project and encouraged public participation from June 25th to July 16th, 2020.
At the new interactive website, the public had the opportunity to learn more, watch a video about the project, explore an interactive map, and leave comments. In addition to the website, the Department also sent out a project newsletter to impacted residents and had the opportunity to ask questions to Department staff. Written comments that were submitted through the interactive website, made on the interactive map, mailed, or submitted to the project website will now be reviewed and considered in refining the preferred alternative.
