Projects in the first round this year reach $52 million for seven projects, with the second round encompassing $168 million for 23 projects. Sixty projects have been approved so far this year.
“The Commission has again acted in a prudent manner, and our state’s transportation system will benefit because of it,” said Texas Department of Transportation Executive Director Joe Weber.
“The message from community leaders and local planning organizations, as well as the message sent by voters when they approved Proposition 1 last November, is that transportation concerns must be addressed in a manner that is both efficient and effective. The Commission’s action today enables us to do just that.”
Proposition 1, which was approved by the Texas voters last November, will fund 200 projects throughout the state, which will cover more than 800 miles of highway rehabilitation. This also will include 500 miles of new highway lanes; 114 replaced, widened, or rehabilitated bridges; and 159 miles of passing lanes added to rural highways.
