Markey (D-Mass.), member of the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, today celebrated more than $25 million in Fiscal Year 2026 Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) funds from the Department of Transportation (DOT) for Massachusetts. The funds will be used to improve road safety along high traffic corridors by building roundabouts, widening sidewalks, and adding traffic signals at dangerous intersections. Senator Markey was instrumental in advocating for the BUILD program which was authorized by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. “Massachusetts is leading the nation addressing the road safety crisis,” said Senator Markey. “These investments will make our roads safer and our communities more livable. I’m proud to have fought for this funding as a part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.” Yarmouth-Barnstable Route 28 Improvements Town of Yarmouth $25,000,000 This project will construct a new multilane roundabout and a new traffic signal installation, along with three other traffic signal upgrades along the Route 28 corridor.
