On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) said it was providing more than $729 million to help states and territories repair and rebuild roads and bridges damaged due to natural disasters and extreme weather events.
The funding, part of the FHWA’s Emergency Relief (ER) program will help fund projects in 34 states, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico that are the result of major disaster declarations.
