46th House District Benefits from IDOT’s Massive Highway Improvement Plan

April 20, 2007

Springfield … Representative Reboletti’s legislative district would benefit with over $220 million in new highway projects under a proposed six-year Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) highway improvement plan. IDOT’s plan would utilize federal, state and some local transportation funds for maintaining and expanding existing roadways.

“The infrastructure of our roadways are crucial to improving the fiscal health of our state. I’m happy to see that IDOT has included roads in my district that are in desperate need of repair and in some cases expansion to ease traffic congestion,” Reboletti said.

Area projects slated under the proposed IDOT Highway Improvement Program include:
• Resurfacing from Walnut St to Emerson Ave on Irving Park Rd
• Land acquisition, additional lanes and bridge replacement from the Elgin-O’Hare Expressway to Army Trail Rd on IL 53
• Land acquisition from North Ave to Roosevelt Rd on IL 53
• Land acquisition, additional lanes and bridge rehabilitation from North Ave to St. Charles Rd on IL 53
