Title: IL: IL-9 Rerouted around Pekin
Post by: paulthemapguy on January 24, 2020, 04:50:31 pm

This change hasn't shown up on OSM or Google Maps yet; I discovered it by driving on IL-9 to clinch it.  See this map: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.5445618,-89.6504637,13.75z

IL-9 was rerouted onto a bypass to the south of Pekin, probably so the route is more friendly to semi-trucks. From EAST TO WEST*:

IL-9 enters the Pekin area on Court Street.  Then it turns southwesterly on VFW Drive, following it to IL-29.  IL-9 then duplexes with IL-29 north to rejoin its old alignment west across the Illinois River.  I wonder if this will invalidate some people's clinches of IL-9.

These changes should be made.
