Will the ESH be a barrier to east-west travel?

April 30, 2014 By

As stated in the ESH Purpose and Need Statement, the purpose of the ESH is to “Provide improved north-south and east-west mobility to and from residential areas and job centers.” The recommended facility type under consideration, a limited access freeway, is anticipated to include interchanges to provide access to and from the ESH and east-west connectivity, at approximately two-mile intervals (per IDOT guidelines) at major crossroads. It is anticipated there will be grade separations allowing east-west connectivity but no access at the other intermediate roads. Specific interchange locations are still being studied.
