The Chicago park district swore northwest super-highway planning, $142,938 to complete the Edens expressway blueprints, and $75,000 to finish advance work on the Calumet-Tristate road plans.

County to Match Fund The money will come from a 5 million dollar appropriation by the 1945 legislature and will be matched by the county. The law requires that plans must be completed by July 1, 1947, and hence not all the northwest super-highway work can be done under this application," Quinlan said. However, we will be able to finish plans for the Edens and Calu-met-Tristate expressways, and then all available men can be concentrated on the road to the airport."
