Bypass, I-15 Interchange Funded by Feds

Funding for the long-awaited Boulder City bypass and for a new interchange at Cactus Avenue on Interstate 15 came today from the federal government.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced nearly $11.5 million in grants to fund an array of highway-related efforts in Nevada.

"Transportation investments like these will create jobs and improve the quality of life for Nevada residents as well as strengthen the state’s economy," said Secretary LaHood. "The demand from the states for these funds shows just how critical the need is for infrastructure investment."

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) invited states to apply in June for federal funding from 14 grant programs. Requests poured in from every state, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. – more than 1,800 applications, totaling nearly $13 billion, which is more than 30 times the funds available.
