The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) will provide a total of $3 million in federal funding to help Nevada communities repair highways and roads, that have suffered serious damage as a result of the devastating flooding that occurred earlier this year.
The announcement follows the President’s Trump’s emergency declarations issued in Nevada earlier this year. NDOT will receive $1 million to assist with the reconstruction of roads damaged from the Northern Nevada floods that occurred in February, and a separate $2 million to address roads impacted by the atmospheric river storm that occurred in January. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto says “The $3 million investment in the restoration of our roads and highways ensures the public safety of both Nevadans and our many visitors, and ensures the flow of commerce in the areas impacted.”
