The New Brunswick Department of Transportation and Infrastructure will spend $409.5 million in bridges, highways, buildings and equipment in 2015-16.
The majority of capital funding will be invested in road and bridge maintenance and building upgrades to create jobs, improve safety and produce long-term savings.
Funding for provincially-designated highways in municipalities will increase by $16.2 million for a total of $25 million. The capital budget includes more than $10 million for energy retrofits and renewable energy initiatives for public buildings.
