The work is scheduled for sometime between July 2022 and July 2027, according to IDOT.
Pritzker said the six-year highway plan, which is updated annually, will be funded in part by the six-year Rebuild Illinois capital program. That $45 billion, six-year program was enacted through a package of bills passed by the General Assembly on a bipartisan basis in 2019 and signed into law by the Democratic governor.
The program funds more than roads and is paid for with a doubling of the state’s motor-fuel tax, a tax increase on cigarettes, expanded gambling that includes new casinos in Chicago and its suburbs, and the introduction of legalized sports betting.
