Lochner (“Lochner”) today announced the receipt of notice from the Illinois Department of Transportation (“IDOT”) authorizing an additional $4.9 million in funding for consulting services relating to the Phase III Route I-80 Corridor Management Program for the counties of Will, Kendall and Grundy (the “Prime Agreement”). The notice brings the total obligated under the Prime Agreement to $6.9 million and indicates the remaining $23.1 million of spending under the Prime Agreement will be obligated and authorized for expenditure as determined by the department.
