Gov. Pat Quinn joined Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) Secretary Ann Schneider and other state and local officials today to break ground on a $67 million grade separation project in Bensenville that is part of the Chicago Regional Environmental and Transportation Efficiency Program (CREATE).
Funded through the Illinois Jobs Now! capital program, the project to construct a rail flyover over Irving Park Road (IL Rt. 19) just east of York Road will create 870 jobs and boost long-term economic development by speeding up the flow of freight and vehicles on the southwestern edge of O’Hare Airport.
