Morrison crowd eyes plans for US 30 reconstruction
By CHARLENE BIELEMA cbielema@shawmedia.com
When Illinois Department of Transportation developers show up in Morrison to gather information about plans for enhancing U.S. 30 through town, one message always comes back loud and clear.
“The big concern right now is how soon can we get this built,” said Mike Kuehn, program development engineer for IDOT District 2, who was among a group of IDOT officials that attended a five-hour town meeting July 21 at Morrison’s Odell Public Library.
More than 100 people turned out that afternoon to take a second look at potential plans for a $23 million upgrade to U.S. 30 from one end of town to the other.
Residents were able to talk to IDOT officials about the project and look at large maps that included the names of adjacent property owners and their parcel locations.
Morrison sees between 9,000 and 10,000 vehicles a day along U.S. 30,
which carries motorists either west toward Iowa or east to Sterling/Rock Falls as it slices through the city of 4,100 people. The project is focused on the portion of U.S. 30 that begins 0.1 miles west of Illinois 78, at the western edge of town, to 0.2 miles east of Jackson Street, which is on the city’s eastern edge.
The plan is to reconstruct pavement and drainage systems constructed in the early 1900s, and add turn lanes and a bi-directional turn lane to help with turning movements and congestion.
The project also includes culvert and safety improvements as needed and pedestrian, Americans with Disabilities Act, and bicycle accommodations as per IDOT’s Complete Streets policy.
While the state is heading toward construction in 2028-29, a lot of work still needs to be done to get to that point.
The project is formally in the first stage of development, with IDOT now conducting a preliminary engineering and environmental study. Feed -
back gathered from a town hall meeting in July 2025 was analyzed and rolled into the plans presented at the most recent town hall.
Kuehn said options include one that would boost U.S. 30 from a twolane highway to three lanes throughout the designated area, while another would place two-lane and three-lane traffic intermittently throughout the corridor.
A third option would keep the current layout as is but enhance the highway’s pavement and drainage conditions and add the planned pedestrian, ADA and bicycle accommodations.
Once the reconstruction plan is selected, work will be done to get contracts put together, and IDOT will be talking with landowners affected by the reconstruction. Kuehn said the parcels will need to be appraised, and then IDOT will talk to and negotiate with about 100 landowners.
Kuehn acknowledged that people are concerned about how adjacent property owners will be affected, but
“there is a lot of recognition that we need to do something out here to improve the roadway and improve traffic conditions and get it done as quickly as possible,” he said.
The original road was built in the 1930s, according to IDOT. Throughout the years, a portion from Jackson Street to Bishop Road on the east edge of town and a stretch of U.S. 30 on the west side from Garden Plain Road to Milnes Drive have undergone widening, patching and resurfacing projects.
IDOT is continuing to take public comments about the project, and all received by Aug. 20 will be part of the official public meeting record. IDOT plans to host another public meeting in Morrison in the coming months, Kuehn said.
