Annual Highway Improvement Program
Each year, the Illinois Department of Transportation develops the Annual Highway Improvement Program. This publication presents a detailed account of the Fiscal Year 2026 highway program element, originally presented in the Fiscal Year 2026-2031 Proposed Highway and Multimodal Improvement Program. It provides a current listing of the projects sorted by district and phase of work to assist stakeholders with planning activities.

On Nov. 15, 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, was signed into law.
This new five-year funding authorization bill provides for an approximate 20% increase in federal formula funds and an estimated 12% increase over existing formula funds. This funding, along with additional funding from the Rebuild Illinois capital program passed in June 2019, helps make significant progress in addressing our road and bridge needs in Illinois.
The FY 2026 Annual Highway Improvement Program remains significantly larger than previous years, providing $5.45 billion of the $32.50 billion included for highways in the Fiscal Year 2026-2031 Proposed Highway and Multimodal Improvement Program. Also included are projects totaling approximately $910 million in appropriations from previous fiscal years that are scheduled to be implemented in FY 2026. As a result, the FY 2026 Annual Highway Improvement Program totals $6.36 billion.
