Boston — The Healey-Driscoll Administration is awarding $50 million to 34 municipalities to pave 217 miles of roads to enhance safety and improve travel. The funds come from the Municipal Pavement Program and are available for municipally owned state numbered routes, with an emphasis on National Highway System (NHS) roadways.
“This investment in municipal paving is about delivering significant improvements that make a difference in the lives of people across Massachusetts,” said Governor Maura Healey. “By helping cities and towns repair and maintain local roads, we’re making every day travel safer, supporting local economies, and easing the burden on municipal budgets – so residents can see and feel the impact of their government at work.”
“As a former mayor, I know strong local roads are essential to strong communities. This municipal paving program ensures cities and towns have the resources they need to fix aging infrastructure, improve safety, and keep people and goods moving,” said Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll.…
