Illinois Road Plan Targets Jobs and 2300 Miles of Roads
Illinois plans a $9 billion road blueprint starting July 1 to add lanes on U S 51 and study a new interstate. Officials say the plan could create or sustain up to 120000 jobs over six years while maintaining 2300 miles of roads and repairing or replacing over 500 bridges. Some projects like Quad Cities reconstruction are delayed due to funding gaps with FY2013 local projects including a $36 million widening and new intersection.
