The Illinois Department of Transportation is announcing the release of a new Illinois Official Highway Map.  This map includes route updates, as well as a new feature that shows mileage between towns and marked route junctions.  This will help residents and visitors alike plan their travels throughout. Spokesperson Paul Wappel says there is also a connection between your smartphone and this map. 

If you want a map, all Wappel says you have to do is ask. 

The new map will soon be available at interstate rest stops and other IDOT facilities.  Don’t forget if you want one to email dot.maps@illinois.gov for a copy.
