The Federal Department of Transportation announced Thursday that the long-awaited Elgin O’Hare Western Access/Bypass had received federal approval, permitted IDOT to begin construction on the project.
“The beginning of the Elgin-O’Hare Western Access Project is a tremendous victory for the 8th Congressional District,” said US Rep. Tammy Duckworth. “As I discussed with Secretary LaHood, this project will cut the commuting time of my constituents and give our businesses the opportunity to move their products more efficiently throughout Illinois and across the country. By investing in this project we are sending a message to job creators throughout the region that the 8th Congressional District of Illinois is a place to bring their business. I look forward to getting to work making sure that the Elgin-O’Hare Western Access project has the funds and supervision to succeed so that it can begin serving my constituents.”
The $3.4 billion Elgin-O’Hare Western Access project will extend the Elgin-O’Hare Expressway to O’Hare and build a new Western Bypass around the airport. The project also includes improvements to I-290, I-355 and I-90, including upgrades to existing interchanges and new interchanges.
