Major Multi-State Infrastructure Projects Drive Traffic Disruptions, Economic Growth

Several states are advancing significant road and infrastructure projects aimed at improving transportation safety and efficiency. In Michigan, road construction near the University of Michigan Health-Sparrow Lansing campus will impact access from the east, with alternative routes suggested to minimize inconvenience. Texas continues major infrastructure investments, including bridge replacements in Midland and a multi-billion-dollar expansion of Spur 399 to address traffic congestion in Collin County, with completion expected by 2029. Indiana’s Department of Transportation is managing lane restrictions and bridge replacements on key interstates around Indianapolis, with some projects planned through late September. In West Virginia, Fairmont plans to preserve historic brick sections of Adams Street during its downtown paving project, complementing efforts to improve storm drainage following recent flooding. Illinois is undertaking 18 major highway projects in the Metro East region, part of Governor Pritzker's Rebuild Illinois program, with key interstate bridge replacements and interchange reconstructions scheduled over the next several years to enhance safety and mobility.
