U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx has released $5 million in emergency funds from the Federal Highway Administration’s relief program to help with the repair of bridges and roads in New York damaged by this summer’s flooding.
The funding will cover repairs to bridges spanning Ostquago Creek and construction on state routes, including NY51, NY 80, NY 5 and NY 168.
“The federal government will continue to help communities in New York as they recover from these floods,” Federal Highway Administrator Victor Mendez said in a statement. “The funds provided today represent a down payment on our support.”
