Route 33 (beach road) improvements, phase II

The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Coastal Resour Division received a $3.27 million Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration on June 29, 2022. The funding will support the Route 33 (Beach Road) Improvements, Phase II project.

Under this award, the Division will reconstruct sections of existing roadway to upgrade the pavement structure. Work will include excavation, backfilling, installing base and subbase courses, laying hot asphaltic concrete pavements with anti-skid surfacing, and adding pavement markings, drainage facilities, driveway connections, and traffic signage. The project aims to preserve and improve highways, consistent with the objectives of the Highway Planning and Construction federal grant program (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number 20.205).
