Boston, MA – State Representative Barbara A. L’Italien (D-Andover) announced today that the Transportation Bond Bill will include $1,250,000 in funding for projects in the City of Methuen.
The transportation bond bill provides capital funding for the design, construction, and repair of roadway projects in the Commonwealth that do not receive federal funding. The legislation, engrossed by the House today, provides $250,000 for culvert cleaning in the Frye Road area and $1,000,000 to implement short-term solutions for the Route 110 rotary.
“The approval of these projects will mean a great deal to the people of Methuen,” said Representative L’Italien. “Each of these undertakings will improve transportation and address the concerns voiced by residents.”
In addition to these crucial initiatives, the House version of the transportation bond bill also includes funding for regional transit authorities, Chapter 90 highway projects, and assistance for the protection of rail freight properties across the state. The bond bill now moves to the Senate and upon approval will go to the Governor’s desk for signature.
