New Funds Approved for Highway 37

The California Transportation Commission announced a $155 Million funding from the $1.2 Trillion U.S. Infrastructure Law of 2021 to assist in the rebuilding of State Route 37.  A $4 Billion project is planned for the whole corridor.  The state transportation commission approved $180 Million to raise the roadway by 30 feet over Novato Creek by 2029.  Caltrans needs to fill in the remaining $25 Million necessary to complete the western section of the whole $4 Billion project which includes the installation of a viaduct.                               Representative Mike Thompson stated that he used his earmarks to obtain the funding.
