Naperville -- State Rep. Michael Connelly, (R-Lisle) joined local officials today to celebrate the opening of the Eola Road interchange on I-88 in Aurora. "I'm happy to see this project come to fruition,” Connelly said. "This interchange at Eola Road takes the pressure off of Rt. 59, which is a key arterial road for both the cities of Naperville and Aurora."
The interchange is the result of a public-public partnership that has taken several years. Connelly first started working on the project as a DuPage County Board member.
The interchange will allow suburban commuters faster travel times during the Rt. 59 construction.
Rep. Connelly also congratulates Mayor Tom Weisner of Aurora and Mayor George Pradel of Naperville and their city councils for their accomplishment in this project, as well as DuPage County Board chairman Robert Schillerstrom and board members Jim Healy and John Zediker for their help in the project.
