CA Awards $4.7M For 2 Projects In Marin County

MILL VALLEY, CA — The California Transportation Commission has authorized more than $3.7 billion in state and federal funds to improve infrastructure in the Golden State, including $18.4 million headed to support projects in San Mateo County.

According to transportation officials, the bulk of the money comes from the bipartisan infrastructure law approved by Congress in 2021, with funds earmarked to support projects to improve bridges, travel times and safety on roadways in hundreds of cities and counties. California has received more than $22.6 billion since the landmark legislation passed.

Other funding is provided by Senate Bill 1, approved by state lawmakers in 2017, which created $5 billion in transportation funding awarded annually to state and local agencies.

"These investments will help California maintain and build a safer, more reliable and more climate-resilient transportation system," said Caltrans Director Tony Tavares. "Commuters, bicyclists, pedestrians, and freight movers in local communities will all benefit as we continue to improve and rebuild our infrastructure."

Marin County will receive nearly $2.6 million to upgrade bridge railing in several areas in Mill Valley, Stinson Beach and Olema. Another $2.1 million will support replacing the Lagunitas Creek Bridge and overflow bridge at Point Reyes Station.
