The Federal Highway Administration announced Oct. 5 it is issuing nearly $5 million in grants to six states to “reduce traffic jams near highway construction sites by speeding project completion.”

The funds are being distributed as part of the agency’s Highways for LIFE program.

The six states are Maryd, Montana, New York, North Dakota, Utah and Virginia.
“These funds are critical to improving America’s infrastructure while minimizing traffic delays,” said FHWA Administrator Rick Capka.

“Reducing traffic congestion is key, not only to our nation’s quality of life but also to keeping our economy healthy and internationally competitive,” Capka said.
