CHICAGO – State Senator Emil Jones III secured over $63 million to build and repair infrastructure across the 14th Senate District.
“With this significant funding, we are investing in the future of our communities,” said Jones (D-Chicago). “Improving our state’s aging infrastructure will increase safety while bringing good-paying jobs to our neighborhoods.”
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 Jones represents will see infrastructure projects totaling more than $63 million next year.
