Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

605 ILCS 5/5-107

(605 ILCS 5/5-107) (from Ch. 121, par. 5-107)

Sec. 5-107.

Relocations of county highways may be made during the
improvement thereof according to plans approved by the county board and the
Department.  Upon completion of the relocated highway and its opening to
public travel, the new location shall become the location of the county
highway and the county shall have full authority over the relocated highway and that portion of the original location not incorporated into the new location. For any portion of the original location not incorporated into the new location, the county board, by the process established by law, may transfer road jurisdiction to another highway authority or vacate, transfer, or sell the property interest.

Pending the completion and opening of the relocation, the county
board shall have full authority over the existing county highway and shall
also have power to lay out the relocation, acquire rights-of-way, by
condemnation or otherwise, and take whatever action is necessary to effect
the laying out, improving, and opening of the county highway upon the
relocation.
