Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey said now that a billion dollars in federal funding has been secured, the Cape Cod bridge replacement project can start moving forward.
The governor says the additional funding from the state brings the dedicated total to more than 1-point-7-billion-dollars.
The governor was joined by Representative Bill Keating and Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey.
The governor says when completed, the new bridges are going to create jobs and business opportunities for residents across the Cape and the region.
She says the replacement project will create an estimated nine-thousand construction jobs.
