IL HJR0038

Designates Route 29 from Cardinal Hill Road in Rochester to East 1600 North Road in Taylorville as the "Congressman Rodney Davis Superhighway"

Honors former U.S. Representative Rodney Davis, who served Illinois' 13th Congressional District from 2012 until leaving office, previously working 16 years as projects director for Congressman John Shimkus

Recognizes Davis's role in the planning and public engagement efforts that led to the widening of Route 29 from two lanes to four lanes, a project spanning over two decades

Notes Davis witnessed a fatal 1992 crash on the two-lane road that helped spur the grassroots "Project 29" movement advocating for the road's expansion after seven deaths occurred on the route between 1988-1995

Requests the Illinois Department of Transportation erect appropriate plaques or signs marking the highway designation
