According to the state’s calculations, the federal government will contribute almost $9.1 billion to the Rebuild Illinois program, approximately 40% of the entire estimated cost. Bond issues, as well as state and local funds, will pay for the balance.
Some major projects planned under the current Multi-Year Program are:
- $1.2 billion—Reconstruction of 16 miles between I-80 and the Lincoln Highway (US 30) in the Illinois cities of Joliet, New Lenox and Minooka. Work will also include two new bridges, new auxiliary lanes and interchanges; other bridge work; utility adjustments and construction engineering.
