ARLINGTON HEIGHTS – Building upon the smart infrastructure investments supported by State Senator Mark Walker, the Illinois Department of Transportation announced an investment of over $141 million in road and bridge improvement projects across Arlington Heights, Palatine, Prospect Heights and Rolling Meadows.

“Rebuild Illinois underscores our commitment to revitalizing our state’s roads and transit systems, ensuring safer and more efficient travel for residents and visitors alike,” said Walker (D-Arlington Heights). “Communities across the Northwest Suburbs will all experience the benefits of these projects.”

As part of IDOT’s latest Multi-Year Plan under Rebuild Illinois, the district Walker represents will see 15 infrastructure projects totaling more than $141 million next year.

IDOT’s Multi-Year Plan will invest $40 billion in construction projects for the next six fiscal years, covering all modes of transportation — roads and bridges, aviation, transit, freight and passenger rail, waterways, as well as bicycle and pedestrian accommodations.

“By addressing critical infrastructure needs, we are investing in a stronger economic future for the state,” said Walker. “Through optimized traffic flow, improved accessibility and safer commutes, residents can take pride in our area.”
