AURORA, Ill. – There are several major projects in the area to improve local roadways. To help educate motorists of the status and location of these area projects, state Rep.

Eola Rd.
“As Aurora and Naperville have grown over the past decade, so has the traffic congestion on our local roads and highways,” Kifowit said. “This has resulted in both longer commutes and higher fuel costs. I encourage residents who commute regularly to attend and learn about what steps IDOT is taking to solve these daily challenges.”
