Sacramento, CA…The California Transportation Commission (CTC) today allocated more than $1.4 billion for projects to repair and improve transportation infrastructure throughout the state. Senate Bill (SB) 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, accounts for more than half of this investment – $884 million. “California continues to make significant investments in fixing our roads, highways, bridges and transit systems,” said Caltrans Director Toks Omishakin. “SB 1 is critical to making these repairs and upgrades, while also supporting thousands of jobs that are essential for our economy.”

Projects approved in District 10 today include:
• A project located in Manteca and Lathrop in San Joaquin County received more than $6 million. This project will install fiber optic cable as part of the Transportation Management System (TMS) to improve communication performance for the Regional Transportation Management Center.
• A project located at Bull Creek Road near Briceberg in Mariposa County received more than $3 million dollars. The workers will repair slope slipout and erosion damage at large culvert pipe outlet by installing rock slope protection (RSP).
• A project located from south of Hammett Road to north of Yosemite Avenue in and near Manteca, Ripon and Salida in San Joaquin County received $826,000. The workers will pave areas behind the gore, construct Maintenance Vehicle Pullouts (MVPs), and slope pave beneath abutments. This project will reduce maintenance and enhance highway worker safety.
SB 1 provides $5 billion in transportation funding annually split between the state and local agencies. Road projects progress through construction phases more quickly based on the availability of SB 1 funds, including projects that are partially funded by SB 1.
