The U.S. Department of Transportation recently announced a $9 million Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program grant for State Road 132, the Gateway Express Project in Modesto. The grant was issued as a result of persistent support from U.S. Representative Jeff Denham. “At a time when we see increased congestion and travel times, this project will move trucks around the city and improve commute times on local roads,” said Denham.
