The proposed project would establish a 60-mile, four-lane rural expressway providing access from Southern Illinois to St. Louis.
“Our government is at its best when local, state, and federal representatives work together on behalf of constituents. Today, I had a productive meeting with Mayor Will Stephens from Murphysboro about how we can improve the roadways in Southern Illinois,” Durbin said. “Mayor Stephens and I will continue this conversation over the coming months to ensure that Illinoisans can easily traverse Southern Illinois.”
