The Trump administration paused $1.72 billion in federal funding for Cape Cod bridges, citing a shutdown, sparking backlash from Massachusetts leaders who called it politically motivated and unsafe.
The Trump administration has paused federal funding for the Cape Cod bridges, part of an $11 billion freeze on lower-priority Army Corps of Engineers projects, citing a government shutdown.
Massachusetts officials, including Governor Maura Healey and Senators Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren, said they received no official notice and stressed the bridges are vital for safety, emergency access, and daily travel.
The project, backed by $1.72 billion in federal funds and $700 million in state contributions, has already seen $350 million transferred to advance work.
Lawmakers called the pause politically driven and warned it threatens regional safety and infrastructure progress amid ongoing uncertainty.
