Connecticut towns are getting $80 million to fix potholes and improve local roads.

The new state budget increases town road aid by a third — the largest jump in 10 years.

“Public work teams like here in Newington have stretched every dollar as far as they can to try and fill those potholes, pave the roads, re-stripe and to plow the snow and keep the signs and markings safe and visible to all the users," says Transportation Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto.

Cities and towns can also use the money for buses and public transit.
