Illiana Corridor B3 Corridor selected as preferred corridor 47-mile access – controlled expressway

Transportation Need Lack of high-classification east west routes in study area National truck freight increasing through study area Key intermodal logistics area – inland port Heavy strain on local road network Will, Kankakee, and Lake County (IN) population expected to grow by 850,000+ by 2040

Illiana Corridor Benefits Economic Opportunity $1.4 billion in construction related short-term opportunities, $4 billion in long-term opportunities CMAP estimates the project would increase the Gross Regional Product (GRP) by $425 million Provide a continuous high speed freight corridor between Illinois and Indiana $5 billion in travel time saving over 75 years Improve access to the proposed South Suburban Airport and to Gary-Chicago Regional Airport Improve accessibility to one of the largest intermodal freight areas in America

Illiana Corridor Benefits Job creation Over 9,000 short-term jobs and 28,000 long-term jobs Freight and manufacturing are driving the Chicago region’s employment Safety Serve as a bypass for trucks around the metropolitan area highways Reduce the strain of truck traffic on local roads Reduce vehicle miles of travel by 26 million miles annually Will shift long distance traffic off local roads Efficiency Public Private Partnership (P3) will reduce the cost and expedite implementation

Interstate Route 290 Harlem Ave

Original construction Interstate Route 290 The Interstate 290 corridor was originally constructed and opened to traffic in the 1950’s and was the first new multi-modal transportation corridor in the US. Interstate 290 has exceeded its life expectancy and is in need of reconstruction. Bridges and roadway over 50-years old Capacity issues resulting in substantial congestion and delays Interstate 290 is a major transportation link between Chicago and the western suburbs and also serves other transportation markets.

Interstate 55 Managed Lanes

Interstate 55 Managed Lanes Controls traffic movement • Number of vehicle occupants • Limit entry and exit points • Fixed or variable tolling Improves traffic flow through • Increased vehicle occupancies • Support of transit ridership High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes dedicated to HOV Bus access Vehicle occupancy criteria High Occupancy Toll (HOT) Lane Separate tolled lane HOV’s Ride for Free Single occupancy vehicles (SOV) pay toll Express Toll Lane (ETL) Separate tolled lane for all passenger vehicles and buses Fixed or Variable Pricing HOVs may pay reduced tolls

Interstate 55 Managed Lanes Public Meeting held November 1, 2012 Develop a summary of the transportation problems that will be addressed Prepare Purpose & Need Incorporate Technical Analyses Findings Develop alternatives and evaluate the effectiveness of each alternative Select preferred alternative(s), quantify potential impacts, and develop mitigation strategies Document findings of environmental studies
