The California Transportation Commission (CTC) has approved $3 billion for highway and multimodal projects across the state. The allocations will support roadway rehabilitation, traffic management upgrades, and expanded bike and pedestrian infrastructure.
Of the total, $663 million comes from Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, and about $2 billion from the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021. The funding is intended to enhance safety, reduce travel times, and extend the service life of state transportation assets.
Projects include:
- Kern County – $102 million to improve segments of Interstate 5 (the Grapevine), including pavement repair, upgraded drainage, and traffic monitoring systems.
- Shasta County – Safety upgrades along Highway 273, including a median barrier, widened shoulders, and new lighting.
- San Diego County – $95 million for culvert and pavement rehabilitation on I-5, SR-54, SR-94, and SR-125, plus upgraded lighting and fiber optic systems.
- Santa Rosa – $12 million for a bicycle and pedestrian overcrossing of U.S. 101 serving schools and commercial areas.
CTC officials said the program will advance projects across all 12 Caltrans districts, with additional allocations for bridge preservation, guardrail upgrades, and active transportation improvements.
