These federal funds will help to support the rebuilding of roads and other transportation infrastructure damaged on federal lands due to rain and snow.” These federal funds are distributed as follows: North Dakota Department of Transportation: $100,000 in federal funding to help rebuild washout roads, bridges, culverts, and embankments in the Sheyenne and James River Basin that were damaged due to heavy rains. North Dakota Department of Transportation: $100,000 in federal funding to support various road sites in Divide County that were damaged due to heavy rain fall. National Park Service, McKinzie & Billings Counties: $26,474 in federal funds to help rebuild damaged federal land transportation facilities. These federal funds are made available through the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration’s Emergency Relief Program. This program helps to provide additional federal funds to support the reconstruction of transportation infrastructure, like roads and bridges, on federal lands that were damaged as a result of a natural disaster. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
