Moline, IL – Major infrastructure improvements are on the way for northwestern Illinois as part of a statewide transportation investment announced today by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT).
According to IDOT, Governor JB Pritzker joined state and local officials to unveil a $1 million upgrade to River Drive in Moline, funded through the state’s ongoing Rebuild Illinois program. The work is part of $400 million supporting 223 local transportation projects across Illinois under the department’s multiyear plan.
