Reuters: More than $3 billion in highway stimulus already granted

From Reuters:

Roughly six weeks since a $787 billion economic stimulus plan became law, millions of dollars are flowing to transportation projects across the United States, according to a congressional committee's progress report released late Thursday.  In the past four weeks, 35 states have submitted and received approval for nearly 1,000 highway maintenance projects totaling $3.4 billion, which represents 10 percent of the total highway allotment in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the report summary said.
