Rebuilding Illinois: Multiple projects tackled in 2020
CHAMPAIGN-URBANA – The Illinois Department of Transportation announced today that multiple projects in the Champaign-Urbana area are completed, underway or extending into future construction seasons, highlighting an ongoing commitment made possible by Gov. JB Pritzker’s Rebuild Illinois. Just in the Champaign-Urbana area, seven major projects represent a total investment of more than $83 million for the region, with $73.5 coming from the historic and bipartisan capital program.
“Rebuild Illinois is not only about investing in infrastructure but about investing in people and communities as well. This first full year of Rebuild Illinois brought projects to the Champaign-Urbana area that created jobs and invested in the local economy in a way that was sorely needed,” said Gov. Pritzker. “The work completed this year is just the start of many more local improvements that will build better and safer roads and bridges, while keeping Central Illinois communities competitive and strengthening our state’s status as a transportation hub for the nation.”
