The plan totals 645 million with 152.8 million for next year and faced funding cuts due to higher costs and gasoline tax revenue.

City leaders had been told IDOT would fund right of way purchases within five years. A confusion prompted frantic calls, but the delay aligns with a previously stated state postponement.
