$908m of the funding will be spent fixing damage caused by 2024’s Hurricane Helene, the deadliest mainland US hurricane since Hurricane Katrina.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) claims the total spent on infrastructure repair work in the wake of Hurricane Helene is $3.4bn, including $2.9bn in North Carolina.
The remaining $952m of the $1.86bn spend will go towards various repair projects, including rebuilding following storms and flooding in Arizona last year, flooding and mudslides across multiple states in 2024, multiple river events in the west and other disaster relief.
Sean P. Duffy, said: “As hurricane season begins, we’re reminded that when disaster strikes, its essential leaders mobilise quickly to help American families in need.
“Our roads and bridges are essential infrastructure that keep our local economies moving. That’s why the Trump Administration is getting these critical dollars out the door so communities can rebuild their transportation networks immediately.”
Sean McMaster, FHWA administrator, said: “When transportation links are broken, this causes interruption to people’s lives and our economy – getting them back up and running again is essential.”
