Governor Pritzker's Rebuild Illinois transportation improvement package includes funds for the reconstruction of Fayette Avenue through Effingham.

Included in the package is $61.2 million for US 40, Illinois 33 and Fayette Avenue through the city. The segment of roadway in Effingham carries 14,000 vehicles daily with nearly 9% being truck traffic.

We will try to get specifics as to when the work could begin.
