Description
The Special Road Fund Program, administered by the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT), provides financial assistance for road projects that enhance access to recreational, tourist, and historical areas across North Dakota. The program is designed to support highway construction or maintenance projects where existing funding is insufficient, focusing on improving connectivity to sites of cultural and natural significance. Funding is available to political subdivisions, tribal governments, and state agencies, helping them address infrastructure needs that benefit both local communities and visitors.
