(605 ILCS 5/3-103) (from Ch. 121, par. 3-103)
Sec. 3-103.
The Department is authorized and instructed to enter into all
agreements with the designated authority of the United States Government
relating to the selection, construction and maintenance of highways under
the provisions of the Federal Aid Road Act, to submit such scheme or
project of selection, construction and maintenance as may be required by
the designated authority of the United States Government, and to do all
things necessary fully to carry out and make effective the cooperation
contemplated and provided for by such Act.
In locating and constructing a highway which will be a part of the
National System of Interstate and Defense Highways local needs, to the
extent practicable, suitable and feasible, shall be given equal
consideration with the needs of interstate commerce, so that such highway
will not unduly discommode or interfere with local traffic or will not
destroy reasonable access to schools, churches, markets, trade or community
centers.
