Resurfacing on bus I-55 (5TH ST) from spruce ST to ASH ST. In the city of springfield

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) a Formula Grant of $6.15 million on May 5, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This funding supports roadway resurfacing on Business Interstate 55 (5th Street) in Springfield, Illinois, specifically on the segment extending from Spruce Street to Ash Street. The project delivers critical infrastructure preservation and improvement activities consistent with the federal-aid highway program's objectives to assist states in maintaining and enhancing highway systems.

Under the Highway Planning and Construction program, states receive federal financial assistance on an annual basis through statutory formula allocations to support highway construction, preservation, and improvement projects. As Illinois's primary state transportation agency, IDOT administers this federal funding to implement projects selected through state priorities and approved by the FHWA division office before construction commences. This resurfacing project represents a standard highway preservation activity eligible for federal-aid highway funding and will be undertaken in compliance with applicable planning, design, environmental, and safety requirements established under 23 CFR and 2 CFR 200.
