Getting started in California

A list of 57 transportation projects totaling $625 million has been adopted by Caltrans as the first in line to receive federal infrastructure money. The projects include:

$75 million to repave three miles of rough pavement on Interstate 710 in Los Angeles.

$50 million to help reconstruct Doyle Drive, the southern access to the Golden Gate Bridge.

$46.7 million to replace two aging bridges on Highway 99 in Merced County.

$17 million to rehabilitate a stretch of Highway 99 in Butte County.

$16.8 million to construct two new lanes on Interstate 805 in Chula Vista to ease traffic congestion.

$13 million to replace the Russian River Bridge in Mendocino County near Ukiah.
13 Million to replace a bridge ... that seems like too little. guess its a tiny bridge or something ...
75 Million for 3 miles of road? Is it just me or does that sound a bit excessive?
