SMC Gets $93M For 9 Infrastructure Projects

REDWOOD CITY, CA — Caltrans has landed tens of millions in new funding to support nine key infrastructure projects on the Peninsula.

The money is part of billions being allocated by the California Transportation Commission for Caltrans projects that are designed to improve safety, reliability, and sustainability along essential travel corridors.

"These state and federal investments will continue to allow Caltrans to rebuild our transportation system so that it is more climate-change resilient, reduces pollution and travel times, and improves goods movement," said Tony Tavares, the Caltrans director. "These projects will have a direct, positive impact on every Californian. Commuters, truckers, and visitors will all benefit from more reliable roadways and a safer transportation network.
