SONOMA COUNTY, CA — Tens of millions in funds approved by the California Transportation Commission will support key infrastructure projects across the Bay Area, including two underway in Sonoma County.
Caltrans this week detailed $483 million in new allocations from the bipartisan infrastructure bill and California’s Senate Bill 1, with funds earmarked for bridge maintenance, rail upgrades and safety improvements for cyclists and pedestrians.
“We are committed to providing a world-class transportation system, by making smart investments to upgrade our infrastructure and better serve all travelers,” said Tony Tavares, Caltrans Director. “Increasing mobility for Californians demands a multi-modal approach that priorities improved safety, system-wide resiliency and sustainability, equitable access, and continued support for efficient movement of goods and services.”
In Sonoma County, more than $2 million will help Caltrans demolish the old Santa Rosa Maintenance Station and build a replacement. Another $128,000 will support a mitigation project for new plants and environmental monitoring at a new roundabout on State Route 121 near Schellville.
Other allocations will help pay for upgrades and improvements across multiple Bay Area counties:
