Highway planning and construction

Official budget title

Construction of Buildings and Other Structures (DOT - FHWA - IDOT - CTY - Highway Planning and Construction (20.205))

$451.6 million

Exact amount: $451,646,229.00

Calendar year 2026

Projects are the CMAP TIP 2026-2030 entries led by CDOT, with federal-highway funds (STP, TAP, CMAQ, freight) programmed in federal fiscal year 2026 (Oct 2025 to Sep 2026). That year is not the City's calendar 2026, and the TIP does not say which City budget line each fund pays through, so the match is by fund type.
