MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers, together with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), today announced approximately $149 million in state funding for 342 local improvement projects to be completed across Wisconsin over the next five years.
The funding comes from six components of the state-funded Local Roads Improvement Program (LRIP), administered by WisDOT:
- Town Road Improvement Discretionary (TRID)—81 funded projects, total funding: $25,421,269.65
- Town Road Improvement Supplemental (TRIS)—73 funded projects, total funding: $39,054,185.66

These LRIP programs are state funded under the 2021-23 biennial budget and are in addition to federal funding made available through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). Local system projects approved to use BIL funding will be announced separately.
All LRIP-D and LRIP-S municipal (MSID and MSIS) and town (TRID and TRIS) projects are selected based upon recommendations by the statewide discretionary improvement committees, who are nominated by the Wisconsin Towns Association and the League of Wisconsin Municipalities. The county (CHID and CHIS) projects are determined by the Wisconsin County Highway Association district committees.
