Transportation is vital to the state's economy as well to the daily lives of the people in Idaho.
We are committed to doing all that we can to help fully restore these important roads. The funding will permit emergency relief funds to be used for work necessary to repair damage in Bingham, Jefferson and Madison counties. FHWA money is awarded after a formal emergency proclamation has been issued and the state has filed a preliminary damage assessment. The funds reimburse the state for work that is already completed and provides funding for other necessary repairs to correct major or unusual damage. Eligible repair work includes reconstructing damaged bridges and pavement surfaces, establishing detours, removing slides and debris and replacing signs, lighting and guardrails.
