An Act financing long-term improvements to municipal roads and bridges

This bill, H 4307, provides $985 million in state funding for municipal road and bridge improvements across Massachusetts. It allocates $300 million for road construction/reconstruction (based on local mileage), $500 million for bridge/pavement programs (including $200 million for small bridges/culverts and $185 million for congestion/safety projects), and $185 million for transportation capital projects. Municipalities must comply with state procedures, submit project certifications, and can receive reimbursement within 30 days of submitting expenses. The funding is financed through state bonds and directly affects all cities and towns responsible for maintaining local roads, bridges, and public ways.
