WASHINGTON(NMB) – The Biden Administration and the office of U.S. Senator Jon Tester have announced that the Chippewa Cree Tribe is receiving nearly $2.2 million in funding to conduct a corridor planning study to evaluate Rocky Boy’s Reservation BIA Route 6.
The funds are coming from the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity Grant program.
The project seeks to improve safety and reduce the likelihood of vehicle crashes and slide offs by upgrading the condition of the current asphalt, which has significant surface and subgrade deterioration.
The project sponsor will be collaborating with the Bureau of Indian Affairs Tribal Transportation system, which governs all planning and relevant Tribal responsibilities for all Reservation roads, among other partners.
