State giving out millions in funds for transportation projects
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Dozens of highway, bridge, transit, bike and pedestrian projects are getting upgrades across the state.
Twenty-eight counties across the state are getting more than $47.8 million in funding from the state.
Cities and boroughs in Allegheny, Butler, Indiana and Westmoreland counties are getting some of the funding.
Pittsburgh is receiving $1.76 million to reopen a portion of Sylvan Avenue to pedestrian and bicycle traffic as a public trail. The aim is to connect Hazelwood and Greenfield to Oakland.
In Westmoreland County, the state is giving the city of Arnold $53,000 to make improvements to Rankin Street from Woodmont Avenue to Freeport Road.
Several of the projects will also help local governments address bridges and roadways in need of repair or replacement.
