The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $5.9 million to the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) on May 5, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to execute Arterial Street Resurfacing Project #96 (Central) across seven locations in Chicago. The project encompasses roadway resurfacing, sidewalk replacement, curb and gutter replacement, and pavement signing and markings along arterial corridors including W. Armitage Avenue, N. Central Avenue, W. Diversey Parkway/Avenue, W. Division Street, N. Elston Avenue, N. Kedzie Avenue, and W. Wrightwood Avenue.

As a formula grant under the Federal-aid Highway Program, this funding supports Illinois' state-administered transportation infrastructure priorities within federally apportioned resources. The project addresses transportation preservation and infrastructure improvement objectives consistent with the Highway Planning and Construction program's mandate to assist states in maintaining and enhancing highway systems. IDOT, as the state's primary transportation infrastructure agency, administers the project in accordance with applicable federal requirements including environmental review, design and construction oversight, and federal-aid highway program regulations.
