The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) awarded $7 million in grants for 21 projects through IDOT’s Truck Access Route Program.

The program helps counties, municipalities, and towns upgrade roads to make them designated truck routes accommodating 80,000-pound trucks.

Up to $900,000 may be awarded to projects that improve connections with other designated truck routes and with freight-traffic-generating businesses. In total, these projects cost $36 million and are expected to manage truck traffic, create jobs, and boost economic activity in Illinois.
