Hurricane maria efforts for signing and guardrails for maricao, SAN german, and SAN sebastian municipalities

The Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration awarded $190,000 on September 10, 2021 to the Puerto Rico Transport And Other Public Services Bureau through the Highway Planning and Construction federal grant program (CFDA 20.205). The funding supports efforts to install signing and guardrails in the municipalities of Maricao, San German, and San Sebastian in Puerto Rico to aid recovery from Hurricane Maria. The Highway Planning and Construction program provides assistance to states for construction, preservation, and improvement of highways, including installation of safety features such as signage and guardrails that were damaged by natural disasters like Hurricane Maria and require replacement or repair. The Puerto Rico Transport And Other Public Services Bureau will utilize the $190,000 in federal grant funds to directly deliver signing and guardrail installation services across the three municipalities.
