BIA route 3 resurfacing project under the rebuilding american infrastructure with sustainability and equity program

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe received a $2.27 million Project Grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the National Infrastructure Investments program (CFDA 20.933) on September 11, 2025. The award funds the BIA Route 3 Resurfacing Project, a surface transportation capital improvement initiative located in Fort Yates, North Dakota, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2027. This project represents an infrastructure investment to rehabilitate and improve road conditions on Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Route 3, consistent with the program's emphasis on enhancing safety, environmental sustainability, and infrastructure condition on tribal lands where the federal government maintains responsibility.

As an eligible applicant under the National Infrastructure Investments program, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe will deliver capital construction services for roadway resurfacing on federally maintained transportation infrastructure within tribal territory. The project aligns with program priorities for surface transportation improvements on tribal lands and demonstrates the tribe's capacity to manage complex, multi-year federal infrastructure grants. Funds will be provided on a reimbursement basis, and the tribe is required to maintain comprehensive project accounts and records in accordance with Single Audit Act requirements.
