New Lenox Toll Road Fight Deepens As Federal Appeal Drops
The 355 extension from I 55 near Bolingbrook to I 80 at New Lenox faces delays after the U S government drops its appeal. Judge Suzanne Conlon required more studies on need, alternatives, and ozone impact, with completion possible in 12 to 18 months. Illinois Tollway Authority and IDOT plan to continue the appeal, while opponents cheer the withdrawal as a sign the case weakens.
