Illinois Tollway
At its April board meeting, the
Illinois Tollway board of directors approved nine construction contracts totaling nearly $64.5 million, including contracts that will deliver the Tri-State Tollway (I-294)/I-57 Interchange Project and complete the Tollway s goal to plant 58,000 trees as part of the Move Illinois Program. The Illinois Tollway is working tirelessly to ensure the investments we are making into our regional infrastructure are meaningful and are in the best interests of our customers and the communities we serve, said José Alvarez, Illinois Tollway executive director. We invest in the environment, because it s the right thing to do. And, accelerating our investments in Chicago s Southland also is the right thing to do as we complete the long-sought interchange between I-294 and I-57 to save drivers precious time and resources and open much needed opportunities for the surrounding communities.
