The Nevada Department of Transportation says it has obligated all $201 million the state received in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds.

The term obligated means all the projects have been put to bid.

The agency says the federal stimulus money is being used to fund 69 projects statewide, with more than $120 million going for projects in Clark County in southern Nevada.

Washoe County received about $26 million for construction of a freeway interchange at Meadowood Mall.

Other projects include resurfacing portions of U.S. 95 in Clark County, Interstate 80 in Pershing County and U.S. 93 in White Pine County.
