Caltrans has announced that California is investing $3.7 billion to continue rebuilding transportation.
Of this amount, $13,487,000 will be allocated in District 4 and in Solano, Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara and San Mateo, on various routes at locations. The project is to modify and enhance ramp metering systems to improve TMS performance and install guardrail at ramps.
There is also $944,000 allocated in the county, in various cities on Routes I-80 and I-580 through various locations. That project will install pavement delineation and markings to alert motorists of wrong-way driving at exit ramps.
More than $2.3 billion is from the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (IIJA), the bulk of which is going to over 600 cities, counties, and regional agencies to improve bridges, travel times and air quality; reduce planet-warming pollution; increase highway and rail safety; and provide transportation services.
Nearly $169 million in funding is from Senate Bill (SB) 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
"These investments will help California maintain and build a safer, more reliable and more climate-resilient transportation system," said Caltrans Director Tony Tavares in a news release. "Commuters, bicyclists, pedestrians, and freight movers in local communities will all benefit as we continue to improve and rebuild our infrastructure."
The IIJA, also known as the "Bipartisan Infrastructure Law," is an investment in the nation's infrastructure to improve the sustainability and resiliency of our energy, water, broadband and transportation systems. California has received more than $22.6 billion since the IIJA's passage in November 2021.
