Massachusetts could soon see billions of dollars worth of transportation projects across the state.
The state’s House and Senate have passed a $12.7 billion transportation bond bill that would authorize spending for many projects, including high-profile highway and rail projects, the Herald News reports.
The bill includes earmarks such as $100,000 for intersection improvements at Tronic Square in Worcester and $100 million for improvement to the South Coast Rail corridor. The bill sets aside $2.3 billion total for the corridor.
Other items authorized in the bill include:
$325 to improve South Station in Boston
$1.3 billion to extend MBTA’s Green Line to Medford
$2.5 billion for new Red Line and Orange Line trains
