Wisconsin Legislature’s Joint Committee on Finance recently approved Gov. Steven Evers’ plan to invest $282.9 million on infrastructure. This was the final step necessary before the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) can use the funds.
Funding is via the state’s allocation of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law money.
Under the plan, $4.3 million would be allocated for congestion, mitigation and air quality; $10.5 million would be allocated for bike and pedestrian facilities; $60.7 million would be allocated for local bridges; $83.8 million would be allocated for local roads; and $123.6 million would be earmarked for state highways.
