FY 2007-2012 Proposed Highway Improvement Program HIGHWAY DISTRICT 8 TABLE OF CONTENTS Program Summary State Project Descriptions Local Project Descriptions MAPS District 8 Alton - East St. Louis and Vicinity Jobs For Illinois Program Program Descriptions Program Map HIGHWAY PROGRAM SUMMARY ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION REGION 5, DISTRICT 8, COLLINSVILLE Overview Highway District 8 encompasses 11 counties in southwestern Illinois and includes the cities of Centralia, East St. Louis, Alton, Belleville, Edwardsville, Jerseyville, Highland, Greenville, Mascoutah and Chester, plus many smaller communities which serve as satellites for the larger employment centers. The state highway system in District 8 consists of 1,801 miles of highways and 966 bridges, supporting 16.4 million vehicle miles of travel daily. State Program The program for state and local highways will average $1.738 billion annually for the FY 2007-2012 period. Approximately $831 million will be provided during FY 2007-2012 for improvements to state highways in District 8. The following table summarizes anticipated accomplishments on the state highway system in District 8 during this time frame.
