Environmental delays stall almost 2000 miles of Illinois freeways
W. E. Baumann, engineer for the Illinois Highway Division, says federal environmental clearance will slow the construction of about 1,950 miles of supplemental freeways in Illinois after bids opened on $600 million in freeway bonds. The process involves corridor hearings, environmental studies, agency comments, and potential presidential clearance, with delays likely if parks or public lands are involved.
