The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration has announced $5.69 billion to Texas in Fiscal Year 2025 to help fund infrastructure projects across the state.
The Tuesday announcement came as part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which passed in 2021.
“These investments keep Americans safer, promote efficiency, advance our climate goals, and spur technological innovation. This funding also creates good-paying, high-skilled jobs and helps to reconnect communities, improving the lives of every American,” said Kristin White, Acting Federal Highway Administrator.
The funding coming to Texas is part of a $62 billion that is being allocated nationwide.
“The $62 billion the Biden-Harris Administration announced will help communities in Texas continue to rebuild roads and bridges, implement new and innovative transportation solutions, strengthen our supply chains, and create good-paying jobs nationwide,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
