The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5119, aims to increase funding for the local bridge program by appropriating a sum of thirty million dollars to the Department of Transportation. This funding will be sourced from the General Fund and is designated for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2026, June 30, 2027, and for each fiscal year thereafter. The bill seeks to enhance the financial resources available for maintaining and improving local bridges, as established under section 13a-175q of the general statutes.

There are no deletions from current law in this bill; it solely focuses on the insertion of new funding provisions. The intent of the bill is to ensure that the local bridge program receives consistent financial support to address infrastructure needs effectively.
