State dollars to fund transportation upgrades in Truckee

Truckee is the beneficiary from the latest round of California Transportation Commission funding.

In all, $328 million will pay for 88 transportation projects that are designed to alleviate traffic delays, repair aging roads and bridges and encourage bicycling and walking.

The money comes from Senate Bill 1, which increases funding for transportation infrastructure projects and road repairs.

The $905,000 for Truckee will be used to construct class II bike lanes, sidewalks, crosswalks, curb ramps and curb bump-outs on Glenshire Drive near the Truckee River Legacy Trail trailhead.
