Nearly $2.6 million in state funding has been allocated for transportation infrastructure improvements in Butler County, according to an announcement by State Representatives Marci Mustello and Aaron Bernstine. The funds will be used to rehabilitate five bridges in Penn and Jefferson townships that are currently rated as being in poor condition.
The representatives said the bridge repairs are intended to improve safety, reliability, and mobility for local residents, businesses, and emergency responders.
“Safe and reliable infrastructure is essential for our communities,” said Mustello. “This funding will allow critical bridge repairs to move forward in Butler County, addressing long-standing needs while improving safety for motorists and supporting local economic activity.”
“These projects represent smart, targeted investments that will have a real impact for Butler County residents,” said Bernstine. “Rehabilitating these bridges will help ensure people can travel safely and efficiently, while also supporting commerce and access to essential services throughout our communities.”
The funding comes from the Multimodal Transportation Fund under the Commonwealth Financing Authority. This fund provides grants aimed at improving transportation safety, promoting economic development, and enhancing quality of life across Pennsylvania.
