Rep. Senger Calls Governor’s Signature of Capital Bill a Major Victory for Route 59 Expansion

Springfield…State Representative Darlene Senger (R-Naperville) joined with state and local officials on Monday to commend Governor Pat Quinn for signing the capital bill and allocating $125 million to fully fund the Route 59 expansion project.

“The expansion of Route 59 has been a priority of mine since my start in public service. As a Naperville City Councilman, I understood that expanding Route 59 meant economic development, a safer roadway, and a better quality of life for the residents of our area. I worked aggressively in Springfield to ensure that Route 59 was included in the capital bill for the first time ever,” Rep. Senger said.
