SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Doris Turner secured over $68 million to build and repair infrastructure in Central Illinois.
“Continuing to invest in our roads increases safety, brings more jobs and boosts the local economy throughout our communities,” said Turner (D-Springfield). “We made the commitment to improve our state’s aging infrastructure and we are seeing the benefits these investments are making that will have a lasting effect for residents here in Central Illinois.”
The largest multi-year program to build and repair infrastructure in state history will invest $50.6 billion over six years, continuing an unprecedented investment in safety, mobility and quality of life made possible by the bipartisan Rebuild Illinois capital program. The Illinois Department of Transportation’s new multi-year program is both comprehensive and multimodal, with investments in roads and bridges, aviation, transit, freight and passenger rail, waterways, and bicycle and pedestrian accommodations touching every Illinois county.
As part of IDOT’s latest Multi-Year Plan under Rebuild Illinois, the district Turner represents will see infrastructure projects totaling more than $68 million next year.
“With this significant funding coming right to the roads we drive daily, we are investing in the future of our communities,” said Turner.
