North Bay Road Projects Get $81-Million from State

Several big road construction projects across the North Bay can be done after the state poured $81 million into the counties earlier this month. Sonoma, Solano, Napa, Marin, Lake and Mendocino counties each will get millions from the California Transportation Commission for transportation infrastructure projects. The funding comes from state and federal tax dollars. The bulk of Sonoma County funding is allocated toward emergency repair projects along the coast, where Highway 1 sustained damage during January’s winter rains. The funds are only being used on state routes.
