The Bates Experimental Road project was set up at Bates, Illinois about 12 miles southwest of Springfield as a means of testing various pavements prior to expending 100 million dollars on a rural highway system. A 2 1/2 mile stretch was laid out on typical terrain within 68 test sections each approximately 200 ft. in length. Construction took place 1920-1921.
