The California Transportation Commission announced Monday the allocation of over $988 million to repair and improve transportation infrastructure throughout the state. This funding includes more than $450 million from the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 and more than $250 million from Senate Bill (SB) 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
“The CTC’s investments will help rebuild California’s transportation infrastructure while increasing transit and active transportation options,” said Caltrans Director Tony Tavares, in a news release. “These projects reflect the CTC and Caltrans’ commitment to safety and meeting future challenges.”
Projects the CTC approved include $730,000 for State Route 20 in Colusa County for Caltrans to develop a safety project to upgrade roadside signs, add flashing beacons, improve the pavement, and upgrade guardrail from east of the Lake County line to about 0.6 mile east of the State Route 16 junction. ■
