DOH getting some help with Thor damage

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The state Department of Transportation is getting some help to pay for road damage caused by winter storm Thor that occurred in March.

The Federal Highway Administration announced Tuesday the awarding of a $5 million grant.

The storms, which happened March 3-6, caused highways to be flooded and damaged by mud and rock slides.

West Virginia Third District Congressman Evan Jenkins said roads throughout his district were impacted.

“I am pleased that the state will receive much-needed federal funds to repair and rebuild roads and infrastructure damaged by floodwaters and mudslides. Through the combined efforts of our congressional delegation and the governor, we were able to secure these funds and ensure better roads for West Virginians,” Jenkins said in a new release from his office.
