The Illinois Department of Transportation is ramping up efforts to clear litter and debris from highways, ramps, and trouble spots as summer approaches. Crews are working across the state, aiming to keep roads safer and more visually appealing for all travelers. Residents are urged to do their part by properly disposing of trash. Last year, IDOT spent over $33 million statewide on picking up litter, sweeping roadway shoulders, and removing dangerous debris. Drivers are reminded to be vigilant for maintenance workers on the roads to help ensure their safety during this busy cleanup season.
