A county-by-county list of Investments in statewide infrastructure projects was released Monday by the office of Gov. Tony Evers.

According to the release, earlier this month, Evers and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) “announced the next cycle of funding” of $200 million provided through the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, or BIL. In Wisconsin, the funds are earmarked to aid in the improvement of 150 local road and bridge (LB) projects.

Funding is administered by the DOT through the Surface Transportation Program (STP).

Further, the release noted, an additional $177 million in STP funding was announced by the governor last week earmarked for distribution across 76 projects within 16 urban areas statewide.
