The first debuted on Interstate 57 in the southern Illinois community of Marion last summer. The second opened a few weeks later at Illinois 59 and the ILLINOIS Reagan Memorial Tollway, a critical gateway to Chicago’s western suburbs. • Two major bridges are being modernized in the western part of the state. A new steel, tied-arch U.S. 52-Illinois 64 bridge over the Mississippi River in Savanna is replacing an 85-year-old structure. In Meredosia, IDOT is utilizing a similar design to replace the Illinois 104 bridge built over the Illinois River in 1936. • The first protected bike lanes on an IDOT route were rolled out on Chicago’s Clybourn Avenue, further demonstrating the secretary’s commitment to multimodalism. The City of Chicago’s Mayor’s Bicycle Advisory Council gave IDOT an award for its work planning, designing, and implementing the project.

  • MAASTO Annual Report
    DRAFT i A letter from the president Greetings — I am pleased to present this 2017 annual report highlighting the achievements and innovations by our member states over the past year. The 10 states that comprise MAASTO are accomplishing some truly impressive things that will further elevate the prominent role we play in supporting our nation’s economy and enhancing the quality of life for citizens who call our region home. One thing is clear — as technology rapidly advances and the need deepens for identifying creative solutions for new and old problems alike, it is more important than ever that we work together to share best practices and inspire innovation. In that spirit, 43 individuals from across the region met in Chicago this spring for a summit on intermodal freight with an ultimate goal of strengthening the Midwest economy and improving the mobility of goods and people. A lot of discussion centered on opportunities for collabora - tion, as well as leveraging emerging technology and harmonizing regulations that vary by state and therefore affect freight movement. An overview of the summit begins on page 4. This report also highlights MAASTO’s effort to improve freight network safety and efficiency by providing truckers, dispatchers and their companies with real-time parking information. This is America’s first multistate effort of its kind. I am confident you will be impressed with the progress this partnership has achieved over the past year. We have a lot to be proud of and clearly can achieve great things together. Experiencing that level of partnership has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my role as MAASTO president.

Its health and economic impacts are staggering in scope and still developing as I present this proposal. And the true impact is further complicated by an evolving federal response for providing relief to different segments of our community, economy, and Louisville Metro Government. Given the number of unknown factors, I thought it prudent to present a continuation budget, knowing that we will undoubtedly need to revise it to achieve a structurally balanced and fiscally responsible plan that represents our city values.

  • E-ZPASS TRANSPONDERS RECOMMENDED for MOTORCYCLES Tolling Is Expected to Begin Late This Year
    Contact: Mindy Peterson RiverLink spokesperson 502.595.8704, [email protected] E-ZPASS TRANSPONDERS RECOMMENDED FOR MOTORCYCLES Tolling is expected to begin late this year LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Sept. 9, 2016) – Motorcyclists who have been waiting to open RiverLink accounts have a recommendation on which transponder to use. It’s recommended that motorcyclists use a RiverLink E-ZPass transponder, and purchase a transponder holder that works best for their motorcycle and needs. Several options can be found through third-party vendors with an online search. The RiverLink E-ZPass transponder is $15 per transponder. It’s a one-time cost for the life of the transponder, with the battery expected to last at least seven years. The RiverLink E-ZPass transponder can be moved from vehicle to vehicle registered to a single account. It can also be used in all 16 E-ZPass states, primarily located in the Northeast corridor. With a transponder, the toll for motorcycles is $2 per crossing, the rate for passenger vehicles. Opening an Account RiverLink is the new, all-electronic tolling system making the Louisville – Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project possible. There are no toll booths, no coin machines, no lines and no stopping. Initial toll rates range from $2-$12. The lowest toll rates are for drivers with transponders. Drivers must set up a prepaid account to get a transponder. Drivers can open a personal account online at www.RiverLink.com, by phone at 855-RIV-LINK or in person at one of two RiverLink customer service centers. The customer service centers are located at 400 East Main Street in Louisville and 103 Quartermaster Court in Jeffersonville.

  • TOLLING on OHIO RIVER BRIDGES to BEGIN DECEMBER 30 Kennedy, Lincoln and East End Bridges Will Be Tolled
    TOLLING ON OHIO RIVER BRIDGES TO BEGIN DECEMBER 30 Kennedy, Lincoln and East End bridges will be tolled JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (Dec. 13, 2016) – Tolling on the Louisville – Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project is scheduled to begin Friday, December 30. Tolled bridges include the new I-65 Abraham Lincoln Bridge, the improved I-65 Kennedy Bridge and the new East End bridge. “Critical system testing is complete,” said Clint Murphy, director of tolling oversight for the Indiana Department of Transportation. “While system preparations are continuing, we’ve cleared the necessary hurdles to set a start date for tolling. The Ohio River Bridges Project will mean faster and safer commutes for drivers. Without tolling, this new and improved transportation system would not be possible.” Drivers opening their RiverLink accounts online or by phone are encouraged to do so by the end of this week (Dec. 17) to help ensure they get their transponders before the start of tolling. Drivers with transponders will pay the lowest toll rates. Drivers must set up a prepaid account to get a transponder. All drivers who set up their accounts and have transponders assigned to their vehicles will pay the lowest toll rates on the first day of tolling, even if they haven’t received their transponders. License plates will be scanned and the transponder rate applied until transponders are delivered. Crossings will not count toward the frequent-user discount until transponders are properly mounted in cars. Drivers who have their RiverLink local transponders are encouraged to mount them now, so they’re prepared for the start of tolling.

  • Along the Lincoln Highway
    3:2 - May/June 1998 6/27/05 6:44 AM Along the Lincoln Highway The Newsletter of the Iowa Lincoln Highway Association May/June 1998 . Volume 3 Issue 2 Successful Spring Meeting in Ames on April 11 Nearly forty members of the Iowa Lincoln Highway Association attended the Spring Meeting in the beautiful Sun Room of the Iowa State Memorial Union, overlooking the Lincoln Highway in Ames, now Lincoln Way. Our first speaker was Lyell Henry of Iowa City, who showed slides and spoke of various "one-stops" and cabin courts in Story County and Ames. Of particular interest was Ames Motor Court on E. Lincoln Way, being one of the earliest tourist courts in Iowa. Also mentioned were Travelers Inn and Overland Camps on South Duff and Grinstead’s Green Gables on Lincoln Way and South Dakota. Also speaking to us was the former owner of the L-Way Cafe, Howard Theil. The L-Way started in 1936 and lasted until the 1970s. It is currently Burger King. I would imagine it was better as the L-Way! Mr. Theil even loaned us a photograph of him in about 1936, looking very dapper in front of his restaurant. Mr. Adel Throckmorton spoke (and later sang) and brought back memories of Scotty’s Chicken Inn, which his family owned and where he was the well-known singing waiter. It was on west Lincoln Way, which was then Highway 30. Hank Zalatel of the Department of Transportation Library told of the succession of bridges over the Squaw Creek on the Lincoln and particularly the concrete Luten Arch Bridge wiped out by the 1918 flood.
