Delaware officials commended the Department of Transportation (DelDOT) today for putting nearly $122 million in Recovery Act funds to work. DelDOT met the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) obligation deadline of March 2 and has funded 32 projects - 27 of which are currently underway.
"This is exactly what the Recovery Act was intended to do: fund vital projects and put people back to work," said U.S. Senators Tom Carper and Ted Kaufman (D-Del.). "From paving roads to installing sidewalks to mitigating congestion on I-95, the Recovery Act has created jobs in Delaware. DelDOT has picked a great range and variety of projects that will enhance our infrastructure and maintain motorist and pedestrian safety."
