Illinois Route 22 - Future

Future

Most of Illinois 22 has been expanded to four lanes, but there are several gaps remaining which need to be addressed. As of 2002, plans for the section west of U.S. 12 have been put on hold indefinitely. Finally, the remaining section located primarily in Long Grove from east of Quentin Road to west of Illinois 83 is also in the works for the near future at an estimated cost of $38.5 million. This project, which is now supported by Long Grove, has suffered similarly mentioned delays, but is also closely related to yet another long delayed project; the Illinois Route 53 extension. If the extension, which is a limited-access expressway and currently terminates three miles south at Lake-Cook Road, were ever built, it would pass through this area, where there would likely be an interchange. The project has been long delayed over the decades so it appears that this section of Illinois 22 may get widened as part of a separate project.

Famous quotes containing the word future:

    He had been given to behold
    The race’s future trial place,
    A fresh start for the human race.

    That science may have staked the future on?
    He seems to say the reason why so much
    Should come to nothing must be fairly faced.....

    We must choose. Be a child of the past with all its crudities and imperfections, its failures and defeats, or a child of the future, the future of symmetry and ultimate success.
