Macomb Area Study
U.S. 67 (FAP 310) and Illinois Rte. 336 (FAP 315)
Draft Environmental Impact Statement (October, 2003)
This Draft Environmental Impact Statement is
for the construction of an access-controlled, four-lane
highway in McDonough County, Illinois that will allow
for the continuation of US 67, US 136, and proposed
Illinois 336 around the City of Macomb. It would be
approximately 20.5 kilometers (12.7 miles) long. The
highway would also link east-west roads, existing US
136, and proposed Illinois 336 to US 67. It would also
reduce traffic congestion in and around Macomb, increase
safety for city traffic by establishing a
through-traffic alternative (bypass), reduce travel
times for local and regional drivers, and support the
city's economic development goals. A preferred
alternative is identified and assessed. The proposed
action would result in the displacement of seven
residences and one business. It would require 285.7
hectares (706.0 acres) of new right-of-way. The majority
of required right-of-way is used for agriculture;
however, some locations are wooded. Approximately 1.04
hectares (2.55 acres) of wetlands used would be
mitigated as part of the project.

document will be available for review on IDOT’s web site
until May 21, 2004.
