$27M Boost For Infrastructure Work In Napa

NAPA COUNTY, CA — Tens of millions in funds approved by the California Transportation Commission will support key infrastructure projects across the Bay Area, including two underway in Napa County.

Caltrans this week detailed $483 million in new allocations from the bipartisan infrastructure bill and $443 million from California’s Senate Bill 1, with funds earmarked for bridge maintenance, rail upgrades and safety improvements for cyclists and pedestrians.

“We are committed to providing a world-class transportation system, by making smart investments to upgrade our infrastructure and better serve all travelers,” said Tony Tavares, Caltrans Director. “Increasing mobility for Californians demands a multi-modal approach that priorities improved safety, system-wide resiliency and sustainability, equitable access, and continued support for efficient movement of goods and services.”

In Napa County, more than $24.2 million will fund a project to rehabilitate pavement and overlay asphalt along State Route 29, between the Napa River Bridge and Sierra Avenue. Caltrans crews will also upgrade guard rails, rehab drainage systems and make ADA improvements. Another $170,000 will support revegetation mitigation on State Route 29 in American Canyon.

Other allocations will help pay for upgrades and improvements across multiple Bay Area counties:
