Transportation in the Commonwealth is getting a massive investment of federal dollars, as over $64 million in funding is set to be distributed across six different transportation projects and eight localities, with the goal of increased affordability, safety and connectivity for supplies.

Virginia’s allocation announced on Aug. 11 is just one part of a $2.2 billion funding effort for 166 infrastructure projects through the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity program. The RAISE program’s funding comes through a five-year, $7.5 billion allocation from the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, to help meet demand for these projects across the country.

“We are proud to support so many outstanding infrastructure projects in communities large and small, modernizing America’s transportation systems to make them safer, more affordable, more accessible, and more sustainable,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in a statement from the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Among the local programs being funded, over $18 million has been allocated to Richmond for the replacement of Arthur Ashe Boulevard Bridge’s existing structure above the CSX Railroad.

Other Virginia projects are being funded in Arlington County and the District of Columbia, Portsmouth, Spotsylvania County, Albemarle County, and in Tappahannock and Essex County.

“Virginia continues to benefit from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law,” Sens. Mark R. Warner and Tim Kaine said in separate statements. “We are thrilled to see this funding head to Virginia for improvements throughout the Commonwealth that will have a direct impact on Virginians’ daily lives.”
