State money to help fix Highway 89
The South Shore is getting a chunk of the $333 million in California Transportation Commission money that was awarded Tuesday.
El Dorado County is getting $12.4 million for a water quality collection and treatment facility project on Highway 89 from one-tenth mile north of the Eagle Falls sidehill viaduct to Meeks Creek Bridge.
This is one of 91 projects funded in part with $233 million from Proposition 1B, a transportation bond approved by voters in 2006. Another $100 million is from assorted transportation accounts funded by state and federal dollars.
The county is also getting money for improvements on Highway 50 east of Camp Sacramento.
