Here is a set of 6 illustrations depicting the **PROPOSED** Brush College Road overpass that is currently in the planning stages. Funding has not yet been secured, so this is still a long way off.   There is a town hall meeting coming up on April 22, 2014 out at the National Sequestration Education Center on the campus of Richland Community College to discuss the plans for this work.  Contact City of Decatur Engineering at 217-424-2747 for more information. **CLICK ON EACH PHOTO TO ENLARGE replace the current underpass on Brush College Road with an overpass a closer look at what that overpass might look like Option 1: intersection of Brush College Road and Faries Parkway Option 2: intersection of Brush College Road and Faries Parkway  (yes, those are "roundabouts") looking south towards the proposed overpass over Faries Parkway looking west towards the proposed overpass carrying Brush College  (note the "roundabout")
