The Massachusetts Department of Transportation and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have been awarded nearly a billion dollars in federal funding for the replacement of the Cape Cod bridges.

The funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law's Bridge Investment Program brings the total amount of federal funding to nearly one-point-72-billion-dollars along with 700-million in state funding.

Governor Maura Healey says the federal funds are a game-changing award and Massachusetts has never been closer to rebuilding the bridges than now.
