ARLINGTON HEIGHTS – State Senator Mark Walker secured over $88 million to build and repair infrastructure in the 27th District.

“Strong infrastructure is the backbone of a strong community,” said Walker (D-Arlington Heights). “By improving our roads, we are creating jobs, supporting local businesses and making daily life easier for families across our district.”

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 Walker represents will see infrastructure projects totaling more than $88 million next year.

“This funding represents a commitment to modernizing our infrastructure, reducing congestion, and ensuring our communities remain connected and competitive for years to come,” Walker said.
