Infrastructure: Lee County’s Ashton Road bridge over I-88 is set to close Nov. 4 for bearing repairs, followed by the nearby Franklin Road bridge. Two northern Illinois bridges over the Rock River are scheduled to reopen in December after months of construction. Agriculture & Energy: SIU and Mizzou are teaming up on a $300,000 project using drones and AI to track soybean drought stress. Consumer advocates warn Illinois households could face $2 billion in data-center grid costs. Manufacturing & Logistics: Chicago South Shore Railroad received a $2.88 million federal infrastructure grant, while Joliet Junior College is launching a state-backed manufacturing training academy. Chicago’s PMI fell below forecast, signaling a slowdown in factory activity.
