U.S. 51
US 51 expansion of a two lane to a four lane
expressway from south of Pana to Centralia is
utilizing CSS for this 70 mile study. The US
Route 51 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is
being conducted by the Illinois Department of
Transportation (IDOT) with the purpose of
evaluating the feasibility of several alignments
based on social, economic, environmental and
engineering issues. The limits of the study
extend from U.S. CR 900 N (south of Pana, IL)
south to the CR 2150 N (east of Irvington). The
study area for this project includes the
counties of Shelby, Christian, Fayette,
Washington, Jefferson, Marion, and Clinton. The
project encompasses five separate communities
and each community has its own Citizen Advisory
Group. The public has a sense of what is going
on and they feel a part of the process.
