$34 billion has been allocated for infrastructure projects across Illinois over the next six years… including more than $250 million for major road projects in Sangamon County alone.
Governor JB Pritzker announced details of the state’s transportation improvement plan during a stop Friday in Springfield. Among the projects slated through 2028 is the $124 million revamp of Interstate 55 from Springfield to Williamsville, which includes additional lanes and bridge replacement and widening.
Other local projects in the plan include reconstruction and new lanes on Sixth Street/Business Loop 55 from I-72 to north of Stanford Avenue… new lanes and bridge replacement on Routes 97 and 125 west of Springfield… and improvements on MacArthur Boulevard from Wabash to South Grand.
