PEKIN – The Illinois Department of Transportation

will remain reduced to one lane.

Illinois capital program, which is investing $33.2 billion into all modes of
transportation. Accomplishments through Year Two included approximately $5.2
billion of improvements statewide on 3,020 miles of highway, 270 bridges and
