Total cost of the belt line has been estimated at $1,500,000. It would speed expansion of United States route 66 to four lanes oe-tween Springfield and Chicago. The 10 mile, stretch around Bloom ington would consist of two 22 foot lanes with 30 feet of land between them. Longest overhead would span the Big Four, Illinois Central, Nickel Plate and Terminal System railroads directly east of the present junction of routes 66 and 51 on South Main street. Length of this span would be between one quarter and one half mile.

Its cost has been estimated at $500,000. Committee Sees Way Clear. Swinging north, the superhigh way would run one half foile east of Mercer avenue. Another overhead would cross the Alton tracks and the old route 66 south and east of the Grove school about one mile north and cast of the Normal city limits. This would avoid an angled track crossing.

The highway would continue north about one half mile, then swing back to meet 66 between Towanda and Normal. For several years building of the belt line has been the subject of disagreements between townspeople and between civic leaders and state officials. Mr. Keller and members of the county board's state aid com mittee were agreed, Monday, differences may be ironed out. TAKE A LOOK!
