Another north south road, known as No. 61, wouldfeed vehicles and people in Lockport, New Lenox, and Mokena, as well as Orland Park. The original that road was to have the south end hook up with 1-80. Now there is talk that itrelieve some of the congestion on 1-80 and permit traffic to by-pass Joliet.Such a road is in the plans, according to state engineers. There is also an east-west road in the planning that will cross the Illinois waterway' and Des Plaines River on a high level bridge north of Lockport that would affect Orland Park directly .«/There are many residents in the suburban towns who do not want to see the areaurbanized but as geographersand planner point out, there isn't anything they can do to halt it. The only thing that can be done is to plan so the growth can be shaped and controlled.With the population growth that is certain to come, thev said, more schools will be needed and municipalities will have to provide more services. All of this will cost more money and the only source of such revenue is from taxes, whether they be on property or income.Of immediate importance to Orland Park and the other communities in the southwest area is the interchangebetween U.S. 45 and 1-80,east of Mokena.Work on paving the new section of U.S. 45 between 179th and 191st streets wasscheduled to start this week. When 1-80 was built it was planned to shift U.S. 45 several hundred feet to the west to avoid digging into the underground cables at the WLS transmitting station.The new section of Rt. 45 passes over the Rock Island hooks up with the old section again just north of183d St., which feeds into Tinley.JWork is also being pushed on the cloverleaf interchange at 45 and 1-80 andaccording to highway engineers at the Elgin office it is expected to be completed by the end of December, weather permitting. Thepaving of U.S. 45, however, should be finished before then, it was believed.As it stands now the onlyinterchanges with 1-80 in the area are at Tinley Park and west of New Lenox. With completion of the cloverleaf on U.S. 45 1,-80 will become a' useful highway for Orland Park.Engineers are now studying the area to locate routes for the freeway corridors. Previously the talk has beenthat the north-south road paralleling Wolf would run east of Mokena. Now, according to Will County officials, there is a possibility that this would be to the west. One source said that inquiries have been made as to the feeing of the Will Cunty Forest Preserve District on the question of taking a part of Messenger Woods near Lockport and Van Horn Woods south of Mokena.W.H.
