SAN MATEO COUNTY, CA — Newly allotted funding from the California Transportation Commission will send around $6 million to support transportation projects underway in San Mateo County and around the Bay Area.
The commission announced its latest allotments Monday, totaling more than $1.8 billion for infrastructure projects across the state. That newest round of funding includes more than $450 million from Senate Bill 1 and more than $1 billion from the bipartisan infrastructure bill.
“Thanks to the California Transportation Commission’s ongoing investment in new and improved infrastructure, Caltrans continues to build a better and safer transportation network that serves all Californians,” said Caltrans Director Tony Tavares. “These funds will help us enhance the state’s system of highways, rest areas, bikeways and pedestrian routes.”
In San Mateo, more than $3.8 million will help bring bridge rails and other facilities up to ADA standards on State Route 82 at the Hillsdale Boulevard overcrossing. Another $1.6 million will help pay for pavement repairs on State Route 280 near Highlands, south of State Route 92. More than $600,000 will help crews address sinkhole damage on State Route 35 in Daly City.
According to Caltrans, California has received more than $43 billion in federal funding since the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law was passed.
