CHICAGO -- October 10, 2011. Governor Pat Quinn, joined by U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush and other federal, state and local officials, broke ground today on the Englewood Flyover, a project that eliminates one of the region's worst rail bottlenecks and will enable Illinois to serve as the hub for an expanded Midwestern network of passenger rail. The $133 million project, made possible by Governor Quinn's Illinois Jobs Now! capital program and the federal recovery act, will reduce commuter and Amtrak delays, enhance freight rail operations, improve safety and create nearly 1,500 jobs.
