Wareham to receive federal transportation funding

Wareham will receive $14.71 million in federal transportation funding for construction work on Interstate 195.

Mattapoisett, Marion and Wareham will receive $14.71 million for resurfacing work on I-195, which includes resurfacing and preserving pavement along the interstate throughout the city and towns.

Marion will also receive $4.74 million for a walking and bicycle path, which will be part of a larger network connecting Mattapoisett to Wareham.

Governor Maura Healey announced Sept. 24 that the state had secured $153 million in additional federal funding for transportation projects on roads, bridges, walking and biking infrastructure and MBTA work. Some of this money will be going to Tri-Town transportation projects.

The funding comes from the Federal Highway Administration’s annual redistribution process, which  redistributes funding that other states and federal programs are unable to use before the end of the federal fiscal year.
