IDOT MONEY TO IMPROVE 55TH
The Illinois Department of Transportation has released its updated $41 billion state and local highway investment plan, with $175.8 million for 33 projects in the 41st District.
“These projects will have a meaningful impact in reducing congestion, increasing safety and growing jobs and economic opportunity in our district,” said Senate Republican Leader John Curran (R-41, Dowers Grove), who supported the Rebuild Illinois legislation that made the funding possible. “Our constituents have been very clear about the need to invest in our infrastructure, and today is another step closer to accomplishing that goal.”
The plan is set to begin in fiscal year 2024 with work going through 2029. The 41st District will see immense investment, including 24 state highway projects totaling $170 million and nine projects for local highways totaling $5.4 million.
Notable projects include a combined $81 million for bridge deck overlays and joint replacements and repairs in Indian Head Park, $30 million for bridge superstructure replacements in Willow Springs,and $1 million for a bikeway in Western Springs. In addition to regular maintenance and improvements, millions of dollars will also be invested in traffic control.
