(605 ILCS 5/6-301) (from Ch. 121, par. 6-301)
Sec. 6-301.
All township and district roads established under this Division
of this Code shall be not less than 40 feet in width, except as provided in
Section 6-327.
Highway commissioners in single township road districts may annually
determine that certain roads in the district are vital to the general
benefit of the district and designate them all or in part as arterial
district roads. The designation must be approved by the county
superintendent of highways, after notice and hearing, prior to the
commissioners' recording the roads with the county superintendent of
highways. No road or portion thereof designated as arterial shall be
closed or vacated without written approval of the county despite the road's
inclusion in any annexation or incorporation proceedings provided for in
the Illinois Municipal Code. This paragraph does not apply to roads in
home rule units of government nor the roads included in our annexation
proceeding by home rule units of governments.
This Division of this Code shall not apply to proceedings for laying
out, widening, altering or vacating streets in municipalities, except as
provided in this Section.
