The East Side Highway Environmental Assessment (EA) is the next stage of analysis that follows the East Side Highway Feasibility Study and Corridor Study. The EA will assess a full range of transportation improvement alternatives. At the conclusion of the EA, one Preferred Alternative will be selected that will meet the transportation needs of the existing and continued development on the east side of the Bloomington-Normal metropolitan area.
