Massachusetts is making headway on putting together the funding needed to replace two aging bridges that connect Cape Cod to the rest of the state. Gov. Maura Healey announced Friday that nearly $1 billion in additional federal dollars has been secured to replace the spans over the Cape Cod Canal. The funding was included in a bridge investment program. The $1 billion brings the total amount of federal funding for the project to nearly $1.72 billion. The full cost to replace both bridges is estimated at around $4.5 billion. The administration will focus first on the Sagamore Bridge before turning to the Bourne Bridge.
