Baldwin Delivers Over $1 Million for Waukesha Infrastructure Project
Funding through Baldwin-backed Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will help build new pedestrian bridges to keep walkers, bikers, and drivers safe
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) announced she delivered $1.1 million to help build new pedestrian bridges over US Highway 18 in Waukesha to keep walkers, bikers, and drivers safe. The funding comes from the Baldwin-backed Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program.
The $1,116,800 for the Waukesha Bike and Pedestrian Bridge will fund the planning and design of two bike and pedestrian structures over US Highway 18/State Trunk Highway 59 and US Highway 18/State Trunk Highway 59/State Trunk Highway 164.
RAISE grants help states, local communities, and Tribal governments complete critical freight and passenger transportation infrastructure projects. The Baldwin-backed Bipartisan Infrastructure Law appropriated $7.5 billion towards the RAISE program over five years. Additionally, Senator Baldwin has fought to secure additional funding each year through the annual appropriations process.
