Our roadways will continue to be an important part of our transportation future and this plan accounts for maintaining, expanding and improving our roadway system with a focus on safety and connecting to other types of transportation.

Overall, the plan focuses on bridge and roadway improvements that could benefit those traveling by car and bus, as well as those who use the roadway system to walk or ride a bike. Improvements include:

Roadway and Bridge Enhancements:

• Road resurfacing
• Bridge repair or replacement
• Intersection improvements
• New sidewalks
• New bike lanes and paths
• Pavement and surrounding improvements around bus and rail stops

Roadway Expansions:

• Expanded capacity on roadways
• Potential addition of carpool or high-occupancy vehicle lanes
• Potential addition of express toll lanes where appropriate

Roadway and Bridge Funding:
Roadways and bridges are funded under existing and anticipated federal, state and local dollars. These funds are used to preserve bridges and roadway pavement, and to expand, operate and maintain roads. Some of the federal dollars will be used for rail and bus transit as well as bike and pedestrian walkways.

It will be cost approximately $9 billion to build, operate and maintain these roads and bridges over the next 25 years.
