Amana Road Voted as IDOT Rejects Staff Plan
Amana officials welcomed IDOTs Monday vote to build a new Amana road despite higher speeds and more land use. The commission rejected a staff plan for a 70 mph route with steep grades, favoring a two lane diagonal from the Amana I 80 interchange toward highway 6 west of Homestead. The group also kept the higher design standard, noting safety over cost. Local officials credited the project with easing tourist traffic and aiding Amana Refrigeration workers, farmers, and area commuters, while warning of ongoing land loss and costs.
