The Illinois Tollway’s Interchange Policy requires local participation from communities that benefit from Tollway improvements and enhanced access. For example, the Tollway has an agreement with the City of Aurora and DuPage County for constructing the Eola Road interchange project because the city and county will directly benefit from the new interchange.

Agreements are also in place with other communities for funding other improvements, including a $20 million local contribution for interchange improvements from communities directly benefiting from the construction of the 12.5 mile extension of the Veterans Memorial Tollway (I-355) in Will County.

Does this mean that Sugar Grove and Elburn will share in the increased revenue these improvements will generate? Or does this mean that residents of Sugar Grove and Elburn get to pay twice? Once for the road and again anytime we need to use it? Have all interchanges on the Tollway been funded this way, by the Communities affected?
