“U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy has announced $1.86 billion in emergency relief funding to help states accelerate critical repairs to roads, bridges, and other transportation infrastructure damaged by recent natural disasters and catastrophic events. The funding includes more than $908 million to repair damage caused by Hurricane Helene.

This investment brings the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) total infrastructure commitment for Hurricane Helene damage to $3.4 billion across all impacted states, with $2.9 billion to North Carolina alone.

As hurricane season begins, we’re reminded that when disaster strikes, its essential leaders mobilize quickly to help American families in need,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy. “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.”
