The state Department of
Transportation is getting some help to pay for road damage caused by a winter
storm that occurred in March.
The Federal Highway Administration
announced Tuesday the awarding of a $5 million grant.
The storms, which happened March
3-6, caused highways to be flooded and damaged by mud and rock slides.
West Virginia Third District
Congressman Evan Jenkins said roads throughout his district were impacted.
“I am pleased that the state will receive much-needed federal
funds to repair and rebuild roads and infrastructure damaged by floodwaters and
mudslides. Through the combined efforts of our congressional delegation and the
governor, we were able to secure these funds and ensure better roads for West Virginians ,” Jenkins said in a new release from his
office.
