		The Illinois Tollway chose concrete rubblization and asphalt overlay to rehabilitate 30 miles of the Ronald Reagan Memorial Tollway (I-88) in Western Illinois.
		Tollway contractors used a unique technique called "Rubblization," in which a specialized piece of equipment breaks the existing concrete into smaller pieces to create a crushed, high-quality aggregate base for the new pavement.
		The Illinois Tollway maintains and operates 274 miles of interstate tollways in 12 counties in Northern Illinois, including the Ronald Reagan Memorial Tollway (I-88), the North-South Tollway (I-355), the Northwest Tollway (I-90) and the Tri-State Tollway (I-94, I-294, I-80/I-294).

	TRn: Ronald Reagan Memorial Tollway now in Illinois (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		In his hometown Dixon IL a portion of Hennepin Avenue had been renamed Reagan Way because it was the road he walked from his home to the bank of Rock River where he worked as a life guard at the local swimming hole.
		From the Strangler the RR Memorial Tollway goes 71km (44mi) out west, the second last interchange being Dixon where you pay your tolls to get off before the pilgrimage to the Rock River swimming hole where those 77 people were saved from drowning by Life Guard RR.
		IL Gov Blagojevitch earlier declared the unimportant tag-end of I-88 (untolled) as "The Ronald Reagan Memorial Highway" but it took a special meeting of the ISTHA (Tollway) board of directors Jun 14 to adopt the Governor's name choice for the bulk of the road, which is under control of hardy tollsters.

		The Governor, Illinois Tollway Board Member Carl Towns, and Tollway Executive Director Jack Hartman were all on hand to end toll collection at the plaza, identify interim roadway safety improvements, and announce additional plans to ease congestion in the region via Open Road Tolling and roadway reconstruction and widening projects.
		The Tollway could not remove the other half of the toll plaza at that time due to safety concerns and a lack of funding for the interchange reconstruction needed before the plaza could be safely removed.
		As part of the Tollwayâs 10-year, $5.3 billion Capital Plan, the second phase slated to begin in 2006 calls for removal of the remaining northbound toll plaza structure and complete redesign and reconstruction of the interchange and ramps used by northbound drivers to enter the Northwest Tollway (I-90) for travel to Rockford and Chicago.

		The project, with a construction budget of nearly $50 million, involves the reconstruction and expansion of the tollway from Naperville Road on the east to Route 59 on the west, Jennings said.

	IOL: Riding out on Ronald Reagan road
		The Midwestern state where the former president was born and grew up has renamed the entire stretch of a major interstate highway in honour of its favourite son.
		Reagan was born in 1911 in the small prairie town of Tampico, Illinois (population 800), and spent most of his youth in the state, before leaving after college to take a job with a radio station in Des Moines, Iowa.
		In the wake of his death June 5, his conservative admirers have suggested a range of tributes, including substituting his image for those of some of the famous American forebears on US currency, and adding him to the pantheon of presidents carved into the granite of Mount Rushmore in South Dakota.
