State’s investment in infrastructure makes the road ahead bright for Illinois

For more than 200 years, Illinois’ strength has been rooted in making connections. With its major metropolitan area of Chicago and its surrounding suburbs right in the middle of the Heartland, the Prairie State helps millions every day make the connections that matter. Our economy thrives from our intricate network of rail, roads, airways and ports that connect the coasts and all points in between. With every vehicle traveling that network around the clock, millions of families have better lives and support each other everywhere they go.
