ILLIANA TOLLWAY, PEOTONE AIRPORT CONTINUE TO GENERATE QUESTIONS, CRITICISM, CONTROVERSY

What does future hold for Illiana tollway, Peotone airport under Bruce Rauner?

On the campaign trail and before losing the governor’s race, Pat Quinn championed a pair of big public works plans: A long-debated south suburban Chicago airport and a nearby 47-mile tollway that stretches into Northwest Indiana.

Critics call both projects “boondoggles” and dismissed them as Quinn’s vote-getting ploys. Now that governor-elect Bruce Rauner takes office in January, will either the road or the airport have a chance of being built?

Right now, if there is a race between the projects, the edge goes to the road plan dubbed Illiana over the decades-old idea for an airport in and around the Will County village of Peotone—although both are handicapped by strong opposition and there’s no guarantee that either will ever cross the finish line and be completed.
