BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho Gov. Brad Little has signed into law a $252 million transportation funding bill that includes $200 million to repair bridges. The Republican governor signed the measure Wednesday that also includes $18 million to pay off previous transportation debt and $10 million for safe pedestrian crossings. The one-time money is enough to fix a third of deficient bridges. Little says the state can’t continue on its record economic trajectory if logging trucks can’t get across old bridges or if farm products can’t get to market. Little says he also plans to sign in the coming days another bill with $200 million for road maintenance.
