U.S. Route 45 - IL 132 to IL 173 and Millburn Bypass Phase I Study

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) completed a preliminary engineering and environmental study (Phase I) for US 45 from IL 132 to IL 173 and a separate Phase I Study for a west bypass of the Millburn Historic District

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.
