Construction Efforts
Because of the heavy traffic on Interstate 55 mentioned above, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) must spend millions per year maintaining the roadway and adding lanes to increase the capacity of the highway. In addition, several bridges are slated for construction or revitalization, including plans for a new $560 million Interstate 70 bridge over the Mississippi river which will relieve congestion on I-55's Poplar Street Bridge.

Famous quotes containing the words construction and/or efforts:
“There’s no art
To find the mind’s construction in the face.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Mistakes, scandals, and failures no longer signal catastrophe. The crucial thing is that they be made credible, and that the public be made aware of the efforts being expended in that direction. The “marketing” immunity of governments is similar to that of the major brands of washing powder.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
