Appalachian Road System To Get $1.25B From Infrastructure Bill
Newsy
The Appalachian Development Highway System spans 13 states that will share the funds.
In the rural Appalachian Mountains, there aren't a lot of ways to get from point A to point B. Transportation officials have been working for decades to give some of the most isolated counties in the country an economic lifeline to neighboring regions. Funding for the regional project has been hard to come by in recent years, but that’s about to change.
The bipartisan infrastructure plan will make billions of dollars available to states across the country. But one of the few projects to get dedicated funding is this one - the Appalachian Development Highway System.
The Appalachian Development Highway System reaches across parts of 12 states and the entirety of West Virginia.
