Sec. 4-205.
In all cases where State or through traffic upon a State
highway runs through a municipality, the Department shall locate a route
upon existing streets or upon a new street to be laid out through such
municipality as a part of such State highway, so as to form a continuous
route to serve the needs of through or State traffic upon such State
highway. If a municipality is the terminus of such a highway, the
Department shall extend the State highway to such point in the municipality
upon existing streets or upon a new street to be laid out in such
municipality, as will in the discretion of the Department best serve the
needs of State or through traffic. For the purpose of locating or extending
such State highway through or into such municipality the Department is
authorized to lay out, establish, open, alter, widen, extend or relocate
necessary streets therein.
