The Delaware Department of Transportation will be spending at levels not seen since the Great Recession began.
There will be $3.4 billion shelled out from the capital transportation plan that runs from 2017 through 2022.
It will spend nearly $600-million on paving and road rehabilitation.
Other projects range from $261-million to widen Delaware Route 1 near the Roth Bridge to $41 million on ramps at the I-95 and SR 141 interchange.
Another $29 million will be spent on the South Frederica overpass that allows entrance into the planned Kent County Sports complex.
Transportation Secretary Jennifer Cohan told the Wilmington News Journal that with the increased spending will come greater accountability on how the agency uses its money.
