GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER IS ANNOUNCING A MULTI-YEAR 23 POINT FIVE BILLION DOLLAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR ILLINOIS. 

THE PLAN AIMS TO MAINTAIN, PRESERVE AND EXPAND MORE THAN 42 HUNDRED MILES OF ROADWAY AND OVER NINE MILLION SQUARE FEET OF BRIDGE DECK OVER THE NEXT SIX YEARS SAYS GOVERNOR PRITZKER.

THE GOVERNOR SAYS ILLINOIS HAS SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ROADS IN THE NATION…AND THIS THE SIX YEAR PLAN AIMS TO MAKE SURE THEY CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SAFE AND RELIABLE TRANSIT FOR A LONG TIME.

PRITZKER ADDS THE STATE IS SHIFTING THE WAY IT APPROACHES TRANSPORTATION NEEDS…FOCUSING ON THE LONG TERM INSTEAD OF WAITING TO REBUILD UNTIL ROADS AND BRIDGES HAVE NEARLY DETERIORATED.
