The proposed project, located in the city of Normal, is the use of U.S. Route 51 and Kingsley Street as a traffic couple. The project begins at the intersection of U.S. Route 51 with Willow Street and ends at the Normal-Bloomington City Line, or Division Street. The northbound lane of the traffic couple utilizes U.S. Route 51 from the beginning of the traffic couple to the end. The southbound lane utilizes Kingsley Street on the north side of the railroad tracks. A grade separation will be constructed to carry the roadway under the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad. After the tracks have been crossed, the southbound lane follows the alignment of alleys, which parallel U.S. Route 51, until the end of the project. The total length of the proposed improvement is 1.28 miles. Both legs of the traffic couple will consist of two lanes with curb and gutter. An alternate considered for crossing the tracks was a grade separation which would carry the roadway over the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad. Other alternates have been considered. The probable impact of the project on the environment will be a minimal effect on water or air pollution. Seventeen single family residences, four mobile homes, and five commercial businesses will be displaced by the project.
