WASHINGTON – Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) announced that the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) has received a $2,271,885 grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation.
The funding, which comes from the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability & Equity (RAISE) grants program, will support the planning of a statewide transportation management center (TMC) to monitor the state’s transportation network, dispatch maintenance resources and provide coordinated travel information from a central location. The project also includes 4.5 miles of Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Route 3 between cities of Fort Yates, ND and Kennel, SD. This includes the installation of edge-line, rumble strips, shoulder slopes, and lining improvements.
Senator Cramer, along with Senator John Hoeven (R-ND) and Representative Kelly Armstrong (R-ND), wrote to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg earlier this year to express their support for the state’s efforts and urge him to fund the project. Click here to read the letter.
