The Federal Highway Administration awarded the West Virginia Division of Highways $354,990.09 on March 25, 2026, under the Emergency Relief (ER) Program (CFDA 20.271) to fund slip repair using a piling wall and related construction at Fork Ridge Road, Site 9, near Marshall, Colorado (County Road 17, milepost 4.85 to 4.89, at the junction of CO 17 and CO 56). The work is classified as emergency response infrastructure repair.

The recipient, West Virginia Division of Highways, operates as a division within the West Virginia Department of Transportation and serves as the direct implementer of FHWA-funded transportation infrastructure projects across West Virginia's state highway network.

The Emergency Relief Program, authorized under Title 23, United States Code Section 125, provides funds from the Highway Trust Fund to repair or reconstruct Federal-aid highways and roads on Federal lands that have suffered serious damage from natural disasters or catastrophic failures. ER funding supplements resources from states, localities, and other Federal agencies. Congress authorized a permanent appropriation of $100 million per year in contract authority for the program, with funds exempt from Federal-aid highway obligation limitations.
