The California Transportation Commission has approved nearly $3.4 billion in road and bridge repair projects submitted by Caltrans, according to KRCR 7 TV.
The projects are part of the $52 billion Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 signed by Governor Jerry Brown earlier this year, more specifically in the $30 billion “Fix-It-First” portion of the Act, which will deliver approximately $5 billion a year in additional infrastructure and transportation funding for the next 10 years.
This latest approval of 90 major “fix-it-first” transportation projects includes improving or replacing 66 bridges; rehabilitating nearly 1,200 lane miles of pavement of highways across the state; repairing more than 300 culverts and drainage systems; and installing nearly 2,400 elements that are part of traffic management systems
