How Federal Funds Could Help Fix Hawaii’s Roads And Bridges … The state transportation department is developing plans on how to spend upwards of $220 million each year in investment act funds.
Better pavement on state highways, safer bridges and advanced traffic signals to ease congestion are some of the projects in Hawaii that could get a boost thanks to the $1.2 trillion bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that passed last fall.
Hawaii is expected to receive about $2.5 billion from that act spread out over the next five years. The largest share, about $1.2 billion, will go to improvements on state highways.
Much of that highway money will go toward funding a long list of improvement projects that already have been approved by the federal government and the state Department of Transportation Highways Division.
