U.S. Secretary of Transportation Mary E. Peters announced Dec. 8 and 9 that the federal government is making $1 million available immediately to both Washington and Oregon to help cover the cost of repairing flood-damaged roads.
“Roads may be up and running, but it’s clear the damage and recovery efforts will be tough and the costs will be high. Fixing these drowned roads shouldn’t be held up in a flood of red tape,” Secretary Peters said.
