The North Dakota Department of Transportation will receive $19.5 million to construct several highway safety projects on two N.D. reservations – the Fort Berthold Reservation and Standing Rock Reservation.

Improvements from this project include the installation of roundabouts, turn lanes, lighting, and rumble strips to improve safety on the two reservations. The project will provide safer roads on the Fort Berthold Reservation and Standing Rock Reservation, and will reduce delays to improve mobility and community connectivity for underserved and disadvantaged tribal communities.

This is one of three projects in the state to receive a total $23.3 million from the federal Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program.
