New Don Welge Memorial Bridge Underway

The Illinois Department of Transportation today joined state and local leaders, along with the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission and the Missouri Department of Transportation, to officially announce the start of construction of the new Don Welge Memorial Bridge, a project made possible by Gov. JB Pritzker’s historic, bipartisan Rebuild Illinois capital program.

“My administration is proud to be transforming our state’s infrastructure, and I’ve made it my mission to improve bridges, railways, roads, bike paths, and more to better serve our communities,” said Gov. Pritzker. “By investing in the Don Welge Memorial Bridge through our landmark Rebuild Illinois capital plan, we’re ensuring innovation, safety, and reliability for thousands of drivers every day.”

Through a combined $307.1 million investment between Illinois and Missouri, the project will replace the aging Chester Bridge that carries Illinois 150 and Missouri 51 over the Mississippi River from Randolph County to Perry County, Mo., providing a safe and reliable transportation solution for the region. Courtesy of Rebuild Illinois, IDOT is investing approximately $143.2 million into the bridge and Illinois approach.

The project, which will be overseen by MoDOT and constructed using a design-build approach, will be completed in December 2026. The new bridge will be named in honor of former Chester resident and longtime bridge advocate Don Welge.

“The new Chester bridge is another investment in safety, mobility and improved quality of life via Rebuild Illinois,” said Illinois Transportation Secretary Omer Osman. “We are proud of the partnership with Missouri to replace and upgrade another of our border bridges, which are essential to the economy and livelihood of the entire Midwest.”

Built in 1942, the bridge accommodates 7,000 vehicles daily, connecting much of the region's agricultural traffic, industries and travelers on the river's southern Illinois and southeast Missouri sides. The project will replace the two 11-foot lanes with two 12-foot lanes with shoulders, making the bridge twice as wide while also addressing longtime draining and flooding issues.

“Replacing this 80-year-old Mississippi River crossing is vital investment to recapitalize our transportation network between southeast Missouri and southern Illinois,” said Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission Vice Chairman W. Dustin Boatwright. “Today’s groundbreaking marks the beginning of this new cable-stayed bridge, and Missouri is pleased to partner with Illinois and our design-build contractor to deliver the next chapter of interstate commerce for the region.”

Gov. Pritzker Announces Key Milestones Reached on $1.3 Billion I-80 Corridor Project

New bridges and Houbolt Road interchange reopening, mainline contracts underway with almost 12 miles slated to start construction in spring

JOLIET— Governor JB Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) were joined today by local officials and community leaders to celebrate several important milestones on the $1.3 billion overhaul of Interstate 80, setting up one of the cornerstone projects in the governor’s Rebuild Illinois capital program to be almost fully under construction in the spring. Entering next construction season, an estimated $385 million worth of projects just on I-80’s mainline lanes will be underway on almost 12 miles of the corridor, signaling the start of a major new phase.

“Illinoisans deserve infrastructure built for the modern era, with the highest standards of safety and reliability, and a little less congestion and frustration,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “That’s why the General Assembly and I dedicated $1.3 billion of our road modernization plan — the largest single allocation — to the rebuilding and restoration of I-80 through Will, Grundy and Kendall Counties. These improvements will not only make it safer for commercial drivers, but for the thousands of families who rely on I-80 to commute to work, drive their kids to school, and move safely through their daily lives.”

The reconstruction of I-80 is replacing more than 50-year-old infrastructure, improving safety, adding capacity, and building new connections across the interstate. The projects also create thousands of construction and permanent jobs while boosting quality of life and positioning the region for long-term economic opportunity.

Over the weekend, the Houbolt Road interchange in Joliet was converted to a diverging-diamond design, marking substantial completion of a project in excess of $200 million with CenterPoint Properties, the city of Joliet, and Will County. The work improves access to North America's largest inland port and opens up new economic development opportunities. The state contributed $32 million toward the project.

Other I-80 elements soon to be wrapping up include the Shepley Road and Wheeler Avenue bridges over the interstate, weather permitting. The new structures will accommodate the larger footprint needed to support I-80 capacity and safety enhancements, with pedestrian and bicycle accommodations added to Wheeler Avenue. Similar improvements to the Briggs Street bridge are ongoing and will finish in late 2024, with construction starting on the River Road bridge this winter.

On the west end of the corridor, temporary pavement is being added to I-80’s westbound lanes between Ridge and River roads to accommodate traffic in the work zone during the upcoming construction seasons.

Finally, IDOT has awarded or is finalizing contracts that will cover nearly 12 miles of improvements to I-80, between Ridge Road and Center Street and from Rowell Avenue to U.S. 30. Once the improvements are complete, tentative for 2026, the final piece on I-80 will begin: the Center Street and Chicago Street interchanges as well as new bridges over the Des Plaines River. The entire project is anticipated to be substantially complete by the end of 2028, with landscaping, bridge demolition, and miscellaneous work extending into 2029.

“Since Day 1, IDOT under Gov. Pritzker has made fixing I-80 a priority,” said Illinois Transportation Secretary Omer Osman. “The governor’s capital program is the driving force behind major projects coming online or currently unfolding up and down the state. Please continue to pardon our dust while we Rebuild Illinois: Slow down, stay patient and pay extra attention when driving in and around any work zone.”

The overall I-80 project will redesign and rebuild 16 miles from Ridge Road in Minooka to U.S. 30 in Joliet and New Lenox, improving travel times and reducing congestion. Interchanges will be rebuilt or improved at Interstate 55, Illinois 7, Center Street, Chicago Street, Richards Street and Briggs Street, with a new flyover ramp linking southbound I-55 to eastbound I-80 to improve traffic flow and safety. More than 30 bridges will be rehabilitated or replaced.

Also included are projects for people who walk, bike, and roll to help decrease barriers and connect communities, including a new path along Chicago Street from Doris Avenue to Fifth Avenue in Joliet.

The I-80 rebuild includes workers from the Highway Construction Careers Training Program, an IDOT initiative in partnership with South Suburban Community College in South Holland to provide minority and women students with on-the-job experience in the construction trades.

"I-80 is vital for our local transportation network and it’s long overdue for this reconstruction project,” said County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant. “This project will prove to be one of the most impactful infrastructure projects for Will County in decades. Once completed, residents will have access to a safer roadway with reduced congestion.”

“The improvements to the I-80 corridor have been much anticipated,” said Shorewood Mayor Clarence ‘CC’ DeBold. “This creates safer roads and improved transit throughout the region. We look forward to seeing this project at its full completion.

“I commend Governor Pritzker for his exemplary leadership and his visionary commitment to addressing the critical imperative of investing in our roads and infrastructure, particularly focusing on I-80, through the Rebuild Illinois capital program,” said Joliet Mayor Terry D’Arcy.

Passed in 2019, Rebuild Illinois is investing a total of $33.2 billion over six years into the state’s aging transportation system, creating jobs and promoting economic growth. Rebuild Illinois is not only the largest capital program in state history, but also the first that touches all modes of transportation: roads and bridges, transit, waterways, freight and passenger rail, aviation, and bicycle and pedestrian accommodations.

“When we invest in infrastructure, we’re also investing in people,” said state Rep. Kelly Burke (D-Evergreen Park). “With each project, we are creating good-paying jobs that will improve quality of life for residents and their families.”

“Chicago has some of the best destinations in the world, and quality roads and bridges bring tourists right to them,” said state Rep. Theresa Mah (D-Chicago). “It is a priority for me that visitors to Chinatown have an excellent experience from when they arrive to when they depart, and every moment in between. The improvements on I-55 help us do just that.”

“These investments in Chicago will strengthen our system of multimodal transportation across the state,” said Illinois Transportation Secretary Omer Osman. “Remember: If you are driving in Illinois this construction season, you will be driving through work zones. When you see orange, stay patient, drop the devices and slow down.”

Entering Year Five of Rebuild Illinois, the Illinois Department of Transportation announced multiple projects in the southern Cook County area are underway or starting soon, highlighting an ongoing commitment made possible by Gov. JB Pritzker’s historic, bipartisan capital program. Nine major projects represent a total investment of more than $180 million, improving safety, mobility and quality of life while sustaining and creating good-paying jobs throughout the region.

“Rebuild Illinois is revitalizing communities and neighborhoods by investing in projects and people in the southern Cook County area and throughout the state,” said Gov.

The nine projects are all scheduled to be completed by 2025:

Interstate 57 from Halsted Street (Illinois 1) to Interstate 294 (Tri-State Tollway) in Markham, Oak Forest, Country Club Hills, Matteson and Richton Park, ongoing resurfacing and patching with overnight lane closures. The project began in spring 2022 and is anticipated to be completed this fall.

I look forward to continuing our work together.”

“When people in my district ask what Rebuild Illinois is doing for them, I point to projects in Matteson and Tinley Park to show them their dollars at work,” said state Rep. Debbie Meyers-Martin (D-Olympia Fields). “We are making our streets and our communities safer with every project.”

“When we invest in our infrastructure like we are on Torrence Avenue, we are not only investing in a higher quality of life. We are also creating good-paying jobs that sustain Illinois families,” said state Rep. Marcus C. Evans, Jr. “I hope that everyone who is interested in a career in the trades and public service will see the work we are doing and sign up for the many training opportunities to get involved. IDOT needs the best people so they can move efficiently to bring our infrastructure to the level it needs to be.”

“These investments in the southern Cook County region will strengthen our system of multimodal transportation across the state,” said Illinois Transportation Secretary Omer Osman. “Remember: If you are driving in Illinois this construction season, you will be driving through work zones. When you see orange, stay patient, drop the devices and slow down.”

“Rebuild Illinois continues to improve the mobility and quality of life for Champaign-Urbana communities,” said state Rep. Carol Ammons (D-Urbana). “These critical investments in our local infrastructure will not only improve commute times for motorists and truck drivers but also ensure that these roads and bridges remain durable for years to come. It is no secret that our state and country’s infrastructure is in need of serious infrastructure investments. I thank Gov. Pritzker for his commitment to keeping us safe on the road, and I look forward to the completion of these much-needed projects.”

“As a regional destination for employment, shopping and major events at the state’s flagship University of Illinois, having well-designed and ample interstate connectivity into Champaign is paramount to keeping our residents and visitors safe,” said Champaign Mayor Deborah Frank Feinen. “The replacement of the congested and accident-prone I-57/I-74 interchange with a new, modern design that is engineered for motorist safety is greatly appreciated and made possible thanks to the Rebuild Illinois capital program. Thank you to the governor and our local legislators for their support for this needed improvement.”

“Rebuild Illinois is a transformative investment in our community’s roads, bridges, and other critical infrastructure,” said Urbana Mayor Diane Marlin. We appreciate Governor Pritzker and the State of Illinois for focusing on safety, mobility and function in the systems that we depend on for travel in our daily lives.

“These investments in the Champaign-Urban region will strengthen our system of multimodal transportation across the state,” said Illinois Transportation Secretary Omer Osman. “Remember: If you are driving in Illinois this construction season, you will be driving through work zones. When you see orange, stay patient, drop the devices and slow down.”

The Houbolt Road Extension Opening to Traffic April 27

Joliet, Ill., April 25, 2023 – Houbolt Road Extension JV, LLC (HRE-JV), a joint venture between United Bridge Partners (UBP) and CenterPoint Properties, proudly announces that the new Houbolt Road Extension will open to traffic on Thursday, April 27 at 10:00 a.m. CDT.

The Houbolt Road Extension creates a direct route between I-80 and the CenterPoint Intermodal Center (CIC), which officials say will significantly reduce congestion on local roads and shorten long routes to the highway, saving drivers time, miles, and money. The CIC is the nation’s largest inland port, with as many as 20,000 trucks passing through it daily. This new bridge will help truckers maximize driver hours while creating a new avenue for companies to optimize their resources.

Project leaders also say this shorter route into the CIC will have positive environmental impacts by reducing vehicle miles traveled and idling. Leaders say the Houbolt Road Extension will reduce the CIC’s carbon footprint annually. Employees within the CIC will enjoy shorter commutes, while those traveling local roads will experience substantially less truck traffic.

The privately financed project involved designing and building a 1.5-mile-long highway extension, including a 0.4-mile-long bridge over the Des Plaines River. HRE-JV financed and constructed the project and will operate and maintain the bridge while collecting tolls under a 99-year lease agreement with the City of Joliet. Construction commenced on March 8, 2021, and was completed in just over two years.

“United Bridge Partners is honored to serve the Joliet community by funding, building, and operating the Houbolt Road Extension,” shared UBP president and CEO Doug Witt. “Teamed with CenterPoint Properties, together we were able to rebuild and enhance the road and bridge infrastructure in Illinois. We are proud to open a new road to economic growth and prosperity that will advance the entire region for years to come.”

“Over the past 20 years, the CIC has grown into an invaluable part of the supply chains of many of the world’s leading companies. A new, third access point to the Park is critical, and we’re excited to open the extension to manage traffic within CIC productively,” said Michael Murphy, CenterPoint’s chief development officer. “The HRE is a shining example of what can be accomplished when local, state, and federal entities partner with private companies to impact communities positively. We look forward to continuing to strengthen our relationships with community groups and leaders in the cities surrounding the CIC,” Murphy finished.

The Houbolt Road Extension uses an all-electronic system that accepts toll payments through I-PASS, E-ZPass, and Pay by Plate to keep traffic flowing smoothly. The tolling gantry is located between the bridge and US Route 6; toll rates are tiered based on vehicle class, which is determined by vehicle height, width, and length. For drivers paying with a transponder, the rate for Class 1/passenger/light vehicles is $2.00, Class 2/medium vehicles are $4.00, and Class 3/large vehicles are $8.00. Pay-by-Plate rates include an additional $3.50 administrative fee for each crossing.

HRE-JV partnered with Granite/Kraemer – a Joint Venture for engineering, procurement, and construction; Burns and McDonnell for engineering services; TranSystems as owner representative; and A-to-Be USA for the tolling collection system.

Rebuilding Decatur: Major projects highlight Year Four of Rebuild Illinois

Entering Year Four of Rebuild Illinois, the Illinois Department of Transportation announced today that multiple projects in the Decatur area are underway or planned, highlighting an ongoing commitment made possible by Gov. JB Pritzker’s historic, bipartisan capital program. Nine major projects represent a total investment of almost $67 million, improving safety, mobility and quality of life while sustaining and creating good-paying jobs throughout the region.

“With the Rebuild Illinois capital plan, we are restoring and transforming Illinois’ aging infrastructure,” said Gov. Pritzker. “Rebuild Illinois is not only about investing in infrastructure but about investing in people and communities as well. In the coming months, IDOT will undertake projects that will ultimately create safer roads and bridges and provide jobs in the Decatur area and across the entire state.”

Eight of the nine projects are scheduled to be completed in 2022 or 2023. They include:

Interstate 72 from the Sangamon County line to about 1.5 miles west of U.S. 51 resurfacing began in March, scheduled to be completed in November. Lane closures are in place with one lane open in each direction.

“These projects represent another year that IDOT will be making transformational investments in the Decatur area and all across the state,” said Illinois Transportation Secretary Omer Osman. “Please, pardon our dust while we Rebuild Illinois. When approaching and driving through any work zone, expect the unexpected and give workers a brake. Stay patient, put down the devices and slow down.”

“The 96th District is so thankful to be included in IDOT’s work plans for the near future,” said state Rep. Sue Scherer (D- Decatur). “These projects will mean more good-paying jobs and improved lifestyles for the people of Decatur and the surrounding communities.”

Rebuild Illinois accomplishments through March include approximately $7.3 billion of improvements statewide on almost 3,800 miles of highway, more than 370 bridges and nearly 550 additional safety improvements.

“Roads and bridges are critical to every part of Decatur and Macon County, from economic development to public safety to the daily commute of workers and students,” said Decatur Mayor Julie Moore-Wolfe. “Prior to Gov. Pritzker’s Rebuild Illinois, the state roadways running through our community were literally falling apart.âÂÂ¯Thanks to his focus on transportation, we are building our own success story in Decatur and Macon County.
