Nearly three months after a devastating landslide cut off direct access on U.S. 89 between Bitter Springs and Page, the Arizona Department of Transportation has been awarded $35 million in federal emergency funds to begin repairing the damaged highway and restoring essential traffic in the region.
Following Gov. Jan Brewer’s Declaration of Emergency on March 1, ADOT formally requested $35 million in its initial estimate for repairs through the Federal Highway Administration’s Emergency Relief program. The Emergency Relief program reimburses state and local jurisdictions for the repair or reconstruction of highways, roads and bridges that were damaged in natural disasters and catastrophic failures.
