The proposed Eastern Bypass would be a new highway connecting Interstate 74 in the Morton area with Illinois Route 6 in the general vicinity of Mossville.

The study underway for the proposed Eastern Bypass will:

• determine the best route location for the proposed highway
• determine the best basic design concept for the highway
• identify the project’s potential effects on area communities and the natural environment

The proposed project’s study area is shown on the map here. For a larger version of this map, click here.
