PEORIA – State Senator Dave Koehler helped secure nearly $98 million to improve roads, bridges and other critical infrastructure in Central Illinois.
“Investing in our infrastructure provides safer travel and boosts the connection of our communities,” said Koehler (D-Peoria). “With this funding, we are improving daily commutes, and building a stronger foundation for our local economies.”
The most extensive multi-year program to build and repair infrastructure in the state's 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. IDOT’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 Koehler represents will see infrastructure projects totaling close to $98 million next year.
“Every mile of road we repair and every bridge we strengthen is an investment in the people of Central Illinois,” Koehler said. “These projects connect workers to jobs, farmers to markets, and families to each other. By laying this groundwork today, we are creating a more interconnected future for our communities.”
