Governor Tony Evers and the state Department of Transportation say more than $151 million has gone out to help repair and maintain local roads and connecting highways.
The money comes from the current state budget, which provides the largest General Transportation Aid funding in Wisconsin’s history.
Since 2019, the administration reports more than 9,600 miles of roads and 2,400 bridges have been improved statewide.
In total, local governments are expected to receive more than $570 million in transportation aid in 2026.
