(605 ILCS 5/3-102) (from Ch. 121, par. 3-102)
Sec. 3-102.
In accordance with the provisions of such Federal Aid Road
Act, as soon as the State has made provision for the completion and
maintenance of 90% of the network or primary or interstate and secondary or
intercounty federal aid highways equal to 7% of the total public highway
mileage of the State specified in the Federal Aid Road Act, the Department
may, with the approval of the designated authority of the United States
Government, increase the mileage of such primary or interstate and
secondary or intercounty network by additional mileage equal to not more
than 1% of the total public highway mileage of the State, and thereafter
may make like increases in the mileage of such network whenever provision
has been made for the completion and maintenance of 90% of the mileage of
such network previously authorized in accordance herewith, and may
construct and improve highways so selected in accordance with this Code and
any other laws applicable, as moneys are appropriated for this purpose and
made available by Acts of Congress and Acts of this State.
When selecting highways to be added to such network by and with the
approval of the designated authority of the United States Government, as
heretofore provided, the Department shall, so far as is practicable and
consistent with the Acts of Congress, distribute in the several counties
the mileage proposed to be added, and, as nearly as may be, so as to
provide simultaneously for additional highways in the different sections of
this State.
When designating the projects on such network of highways which are to
be improved with the current allotments of federal funds made available by
Acts of Congress and with funds made available by Acts of this State to be
used with such federal funds, the Department shall distribute such federal
aid projects equitably and fairly among the different sections of the State
and, so far as is practicable and consistent with Acts of Congress, among
the several counties.
