CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) - Motorists will soon see new speed limits on two Illinois tollways.

Tollway officials are recommending the speed limit be raised from 65 mph to 70 mph on the Veterans Memorial Tollway (Interstate 355) from I-55 to I-80.

Officials also want to increase the limit on the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90) from Elgin to Rockford.

The proposal is expected to get approval from officials in Springfield and could be in effect by this summer.
