Governor Bullock finds $10 million to free federal highway funding for Montana road projects

In a surprise development Thursday, Gov. Steve Bullock said he had found $10 million in state money to match federal highway funds and allow $144.5 million of delayed highway projects to be put out for bid this fiscal year.

Transportation Director Mike Tooley said this move will allow the state Transportation Department to put out for bid the 30 projects that the agency had put on hold in December because of a funding shortfall.
