Senator Lewis Announces $5 Million for Road and Transportation Improvements Across His District

BOSTON—State Senator Jason Lewis is pleased to announce that the Massachusetts Legislature has authorized more than $5 million in Chapter 90 funds from the state to fund local transportation infrastructure in his district, as part of a $300 million allocation to support transportation-related improvements, including road and bridge repairs, that goes directly to municipalities across Massachusetts.

This funding is part of a larger multibillion dollar bond bill that also authorizes:

• $500 million to target and fast-track repairs to the roads that are in the worst condition, through the state’s Lifecycle Asset Management Program.
• $200 million to the MBTA for rail improvements, vehicle modernization, and the procurement of new vehicles.
• $200 million to the Department of Conservation and Recreation for the repair and modernization of the roads and bridges under their care.
• $200 million to spur new transit-oriented housing construction with capital projects such as stormwater management, culverts, and bike and pedestrian infrastructure.

“I’m extremely pleased that the state legislature is providing these critical funds to our cities and towns for local transportation improvements,” said Senator Jason Lewis. “I know that this money will be put to good use in our communities improving roads, sidewalks, and other infrastructure.”

After passing in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, this legislation was signed into law on June 11, 2026 by Governor Maura Healey.
