Simplification of Illinois Highway Numbering
The Illinois Department of Public Works and Buildings under Gov. Henry Horner launches a highway numbering simplification. About 20,000 State Route markers are removed or renumbered to reduce confusion with U.S. routes as the $100 million bond program expands road work.
