Public hearings begin for controversial 'Illiana' highway

Posted: Updated:
CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) -

Public hearings begin Tuesday over plans to build a controversial highway to link Interstate-55 in Illinois with Interstate-65 in Indiana.

Three proposed routes are being considered and all three run through quiet rural areas that oppose the idea.

Officials said the so-called "Illiana" highway is desperately needed to ease traffic congestion on east-west routes through the two states.

The first hearing is scheduled for 5 p.m. Tuesday at Peotone High School.
