Sonoma County Gets $51M For 6 Infrastructure Projects

SONOMA COUNTY, CA — Sonoma County has landed nearly $52 million in state funds to support six key infrastructure projects.

The money is part of billions being allocated by the California Transportation Commission for Caltrans projects that are designed to improve safety, reliability and sustainability along essential travel corridors.

"These state and federal investments will continue to allow Caltrans to rebuild our transportation system so that it is more climate-change resilient, reduces pollution and travel times, and improves goods movement," said Tony Tavares, the Caltrans director. "These projects will have a direct, positive impact on every Californian. Commuters, truckers, and visitors will all benefit from more reliable roadways and a safer transportation network.

The CTC funding includes nearly $1.8 billion in federal infrastructure funds and $200 million in funds from the state Road Repair and Accountability Act, passed in 2017.
