The project consists of the construction of 18 miles of a four lane freeway extending from Lena, Illinois to two miles east of Freeport, Illinois. The anticipated long-range impact is considered not to be detrimental due to the resultant decreased congestion and increased safety factors in the City of Freeport, caused by moving through traffic from the City streets and antiquated roadways to the new freeway. Higher noise levels will be generated in the rural environment which FA Route 401 will traverse, however, noise levels within the City will be reduced. The usual short term air and water pollution will occur but will be minimized by careful construction and reseeding practices required by State specifications. The right of way required will displace 26 families, 1 business and 3 farm units, however; housing resources are available.
