Gov. Chris Gregoire has signed a new state transportation budget that earmarks money for three new ferries and major road and bridge projects.

The governor also has approved a plan that allows greater use of road and bridge tolls to help build mega-projects like the new Highway 520 floating bridge.

Although the budget includes some new spending, overall it trims the current $7.5 billion two-year highway budget by about $129 million.
