Department of Transportation Announces More than $26 Million to Marley Crossing, I-94 Projects

BISMARCK, N.D. - The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) awarded$26,420,000for two projects in North Dakota. These funds were made available through the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant program and will be distributed to the following initiatives:
“Infrastructure is critical to our everyday lives, from supporting safe, efficienttravel to bringing agricultural and energy products to market,”said U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND).“These grants help improve roadway safety across the state of North Dakota, and enhance commerce in the region.”
As Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Subcommittee on Transportation and Infrastructure, Cramer helped craft the fully-paid-for Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and shepherd it through Congress. The BIL reauthorized the RAISE grant program and boosted its funding. The RAISE grant program helps project sponsors at both the state and local levels, including municipalities, tribal governments, counties, and other complete critical freight and passenger transportation infrastructure projects.
Cramer led the North Dakota delegation in writing two letters supporting the applications submitted by NDDOT for theMarley Crossing Planning Projectandthe I-94 State of Good Repair Project.
