Federal Highway & Street Construction Contracts in Illinois

Illinois has 2 federal Highway & Street Construction awards tracked in the last 120 days, totaling $1.4M across 2 unique firms — with 1 open bid currently accepting proposals. The Agriculture, Department of leads activity with 50% of recent awards.

Over the last 120 days, the federal highway and street construction market in Illinois has seen 2 awards totaling $1.4M, indicating a relatively quiet period for this category. The Department of Agriculture led with 50% of tracked awards, an unusual pattern for highway work that suggests specialized projects rather than traditional DOT infrastructure spending. ESI Contracting Corp. captured the entire $1.4M with a single award, demonstrating that contract volume is extremely limited and opportunity concentration is high. Contractors should monitor this market closely for pipeline activity, as current award frequency does not support sustained bidding operations; the all-time database total matches the 120-day figure, confirming this is a nascent or dormant segment. Success likely depends on either targeting the Agriculture Department's specific infrastructure needs or waiting for broader federal highway funding cycles to activate.
