The 16-mile corridor via Joliet and Will County carries approximately 80,000 vehicles daily.

Worth $1.2bn, the project consists of three distinct phases. It includes the replacement of more than 30 bridges along the corridor and the construction of reconfigured auxiliary lanes and interchanges to relieve congestion.

Bowman chair and CEO Gary Bowman said: “We’re pleased to receive this additional funding to continue advancing our efforts on this critical transportation infrastructure initiative.

“We look forward to continuing to support this and other transportation initiatives in Illinois and nationwide.”
