"Projects like the West County Connectors are key to getting our economy back on track," said US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. "From coast to coast the Recovery Act is helping workers shore up America's infrastructure."
The West County Connectors project is the second phase of the region's SR22 improvement project, which will improve one of the busiest highway interchanges in the nation.
"This project exemplifies a great use of Recovery funds," said Administrator Mendez.
To date, $2.47 billion of the $2.57 billion allocated to California has been obligated for projects in the state toward 931 roads and bridges projects. 437 projects are currently underway and 122 have been completed.
