New Federal Grant for Arizona, Georgia, Maine, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia Will Help Cut Construction Times, Reduce Gridlock for Projects

Abstract:

Arizona, Georgia, Maine, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia will each receive up to $1 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation as part of a new program designed to reduce traffic jams near construction zones. This “Highways for LIFE” program is managed by the Federal Highway Administration and provides grant money to the states to build roads faster, while making them last longer and less costly to maintain. These states are the first round of 2007 recipients; more states are expected to receive Highways for LIFE grants soon in the future.
