The Indiana Department of Transportation will host two public meetings to discuss the I-80/I-94 corridor between Illinois 394 in Cook County, Illinois, and I-65 in Lake County, Indiana.

The public meetings will allow all interested parties to comment on work being done to improve traffic on the stretch of road.
