Tribal transportation bridge award

The Navajo Nation Tribal Government has been awarded a $4,424,079 Formula Grant from the Federal Highway Administration under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This grant will fund the construction, preservation, and improvement of transportation infrastructure for the Navajo Nation, which spans over 27,000 square miles across Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah.

The funding will support a variety of transportation projects, including bridge replacements and repairs, highway resurfacing and reconstruction, and safety improvements. This award is part of the Federal-aid Highway Program, which provides grants to state, local, and tribal entities to enhance and modernize transportation networks nationwide. As a federally recognized sovereign nation, the Navajo Nation will utilize this Formula Grant to address the critical transportation needs of its communities and preserve the mobility of its residents.
