All of the money will be used for road paving and rehabilitation projects on Southern Nevada roads.

The breakdown includes:

- Clark County, $16.3 million

- Las Vegas, $10.1 million

- North Las Vegas, $4.8 million

- Henderson, $6.3 million

- Boulder City, $1 million

- Mesquite, $1 million

The Nevada Department of Transportation meets this afternoon to consider its stimulus projects.
