Governor Pat Quinn announced Thursday capital investments of more than $23.9 million for construction projects in Cook and DuPage counties. The investments, funded by the Governor’s Illinois Jobs Now! construction program, are part of Quinn’s agenda to create jobs and drive Illinois’ economy forward.

“New infrastructure projects are creating jobs for hardworking men and women throughout Illinois,” Quinn said. “These investments in Cook and DuPage counties will improve local and state transportation networks, and continue Illinois’ road to recovery.”

The projects will be managed by the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Illinois Route 68 will receive 8.25 miles of surface removal, patching, curb and gutter replacement, resurfacing and pavement marking from Illinois Route 59 to Illinois Route 53 within the Village of Palatine, Inverness and Barrington Hills for $3,919,105 by Plote Construction, Inc. of Hoffman Estate, the lowest of five bidders.

Illinois Route 83 will receive 5.19 miles of pavement resurfacing from the Cook County Line to Knollwood Road within the Villages of Willowbrook, Burr Ridge and the City of Darien for $7,704,170 by Central Blacktop Co., Inc. of LaGrange, the lower of two bidders.
