Toll board meets on new projects today

The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority’s board of directors is planning to discuss maintenance and expansion of its road system.

The board meets at its headquarters in Downers Grove on Thursday.

The Tollway board plans to discuss its progress in identifying capital construction projects that will keep the northeastern Illinois network of highways in good condition through 2026.

Board members will also talk about potential new projects that would have an impact on the entire region, and ways in which the Tollway could play a role.
