SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Almost a day ahead of deadline, the Illinois General Assembly wrapped up its spring session early Saturday after approving a $1 billion capital bill to fund road and bridge projects around the state.

Gaveling in just after midnight and out a few minutes later, lawmakers headed home to their districts with several looming issues unaddressed — a byproduct, members said, of the upcoming November election. The House adjourned Friday evening.
