FHA rushes road aid to Connecticut
The Federal Highway Administration said it will send $3 million in emergency relief to reimburse Connecticut for repairs and cleanup of U.S. Route 7, which was damaged last week after a gasoline truck crashed near Ridgefield.
The Bush administration has proposed raising the level of the emergency relief fund available to states for road repairs after natural disasters or catastrophic events from $100 million to $250 million per year. The proposal is part of the multi-year surface transportation authorization bill that is still stuck in Congress nearly two years after the previous spending plan expired.
