The Federal Highway Administration and Federal Aviation Administration have approved construction of a $3.6-billion Illinois tollway intended to improve access from Chicago suburbs to O'Hare International Airport.
The tollway, part of a 15-year, $12-billion capital program named Move Illinois: The Illinois Tollway Driving the Future, will replace the Elgin-O'Hare Expressway, a corridor that doesn't connect local roads to O'Hare Airport.
