BLOOMINGTON – Officials from the Illinois Department of Transportation will be holding a presentation on upcoming transportation projects impacting the local community.
The presentation will be held Monday, Feb. 26 from 4-5pm at the Government Center in downtown Bloomington.
It will provide residents with insight into several significant projects, including developments on Market Street, US Business Route 51, and more. Notably, the work on US 150 Morrisey Drive and the Illinois Route 9-Locust Street project that will be done in five construction phases over multiple years.
According to a city news release, these projects are designed to enhance the city’s transportation infrastructure, which includes a focus on improving accommodations for bicycles and pedestrians.
The total cost of these efforts is not yet finalized; however, the overall investment for the state routes in Bloomington is expected to exceed $100 million.
Residents and business owners interested in the city’s infrastructure development are encouraged to attend the presentation.
