Lake County, IL. – The State of Illinois will invest $540 million in Lake County to improve roads, repair bridges and ease traffic congestion, including $325 million for new projects, as part of the $23.5 billion Rebuild Illinois state infrastructure plan, according to a report released earlier this week by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT).
The long list of projects outlined in the proposed Highway Improvement Program (HIP) will be funded over a five-year period, from state fiscal years 2020 through 2025.
“Traffic congestion is a significant issue in many areas of Lake County,” said Shane Schneider, Director of the Lake County Division of Transportation (LCDOT). “We have worked hard to identify and prioritize projects that will provide meaningful congestion relief to areas that have been bogged down by traffic.
The projects announced by IDOT will positively benefit all who drive through Lake County.”
The projects:
$129 million to widen IL 60/83 from IL 176 to the CN Railroad, including a roadway grade separation with the CN Railroad in Mundelein.
$79 million to reconstruct and add additional lanes to IL 131 from Wadsworth to Sunset in Beach Park and Waukegan.
$59 million to reconstruct and widen IL 22 from Quentin Road to west of IL 83 in Kildeer and Long Grove.
$53 million to modernize the US 41 and IL 176 interchange in Lake Bluff.
$29 million to reconstruct and widen IL 120 from Ashford Dr. to US 45 in Grayslake.
$16 million to realign intersections on IL 83 from IL 120 to IL 137 and at Atkinson Road in Grayslake.
$15 million to replace a bridge and culvert, and do widening and drainage construction and resurfacing at IL 132 W. of Sheehan to Munn in Lake Villa and Lindenhurst.
$13 million to replace a pump station at US 41 and Deerpath Road in Lake Forest.
