CHICAGO — Thanks to advocacy from State Senator Graciela Guzmán, the 20th Senate District will see nearly $26 million coming to the community for infrastructure improvements. 

“It is imperative that we invest in our infrastructure to prioritize the safety of our residents,” said Guzmán (D-Chicago). “This latest round of funding is working toward making my community a safer place for commuters and visitors, while boosting our local economy at the same time.” 

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. 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 Guzmán represents will see four infrastructure projects totaling nearly $26 million next year.

“Thanks to this most recent investment, folks in my neighborhood will be able to have a better experience commuting on the roads we drive daily,” said Guzmán. “I am glad that we are taking steps today to maintain our infrastructure for years to come through these Rebuild Illinois projects, and look forward to seeing the results.”
