Illinois Tollway investments in transportation infrastructure are transforming communities, attracting businesses and strengthening local economies.

Projects like the rebuilding and widening of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90) make that possible by improving access to jobs, customers, suppliers and major transportation hubs, including O’Hare International Airport.

As access improves, businesses are choosing to locate and expand along the corridor. A surge of new commercial and industrial development is bringing jobs, strengthening local tax bases and supporting continued economic growth in communities across the region.

The I-90 corridor demonstrates how strategic transportation investments can deliver benefits that extend far beyond the roadway. By improving mobility and reliability, the Tollway is helping build stronger communities and supporting Northern Illinois’ long-term economic competitiveness.
