CHAMPAIGN – Building upon the smart infrastructure investments supported by State Senator Paul Faraci, the Illinois Department of Transportation announced an investment of over $85 million in road and bridge improvement projects across Champaign and Vermilion counties.

“These investments are essential for ensuring the safety and efficiency of the transportation infrastructure in our communities,” said Faraci (D-Champaign). “With this funding, we are upholding our commitment to making travel safer for all the families and businesses in our state.”

As part of IDOT’s latest Multi-Year Plan under Rebuild Illinois, the district Faraci represents will see 22 infrastructure projects totaling more than $85 million next year.

These projects are part of IDOT’s Multi-Year Plan, a $40 billion investment in construction projects for the next six fiscal years. The project invests in all modes of transportation: roads and bridges, aviation, transit, freight and passenger rail, waterways, as well as bicycle and pedestrian accommodations.

“These improvements will enhance the daily commute for our residents and stimulate local economic growth and job creation, benefiting our entire community,” said Faraci.
