Various state highways - fort berthold reservation; pavement marking

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $201,188.96 to the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) on June 4, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This formula grant supports pavement marking improvements on various state highways located within the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota. Pavement markings are critical safety infrastructure that enhance visibility and traffic management on roadways, particularly in rural areas such as the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation.

As a formula grant administered through the federal-aid highway program, this award reflects NDDOT's ongoing responsibility as the state transportation authority to maintain and improve the state's highway infrastructure. The project falls within eligible highway safety and preservation activities authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and represents the state's prioritization of transportation maintenance on tribal lands within its jurisdiction.
