The ongoing federal government shutdown has caused the freeze of funds designed to help pay for the replacement of the Cape Cod bridges.
The Trump administration has announced a pause of eleven-billion-dollars worth of projects because of the shutdown nationwide.
The federal government has earmarked 350-million-dollars towards the replacement of the Sagamore Bridge, and 250-million for the new Bourne Bridge.
State officials estimate replacing both bridges will cost well over four-billion-dollars in total.
