Lori Trahan: $21.4 million in federal funding for 4 Lowell bridges

The city of Lowell will become a bridge to somewhere thanks to more than $21 million in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding to support four bridge rehabilitation and preservation projects across the city.

The legislation provides $550 billion from 2022 through 2026 of new federal investment in roads, bridges, mass transit, water infrastructure, resilience and broadband.

U.S. Rep. Lori Trahan, a Lowell native who represents the 3rd Congressional District, announced the bridge funding with U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey and City Manager Tom Golden.

“I voted for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law because families here in Lowell and across Massachusetts deserve to know the bridges they drive on or walk across are safe,” Trahan said in a statement.
