It has been said that only 11% of the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill recently signed by His Fraudulency Joe Biden actually goes to the nation's infrastructure.
Well, at least part of that 11% us going towards highway improvement projects near Shiprock, New Mexico.
The Farmington Daily Times reported:
FARMINGTON — New Mexico will receive $25 million in federal funding for a transportation project on the Navajo Nation.
Congressional members from New Mexico announced the state was awarded funding through the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grants, which is administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
The New Mexico Department of Transportation has been working to improve the portion of Highway 64 that runs west from Shiprock to the Arizona state line.
The road serves residents in chapters along its route and is used by visitors to reach designations such as the Four Corners Monument and Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park.
I have to admit, Highway 64 and other highways in the Shiprock/Four Corners area could stand for some improving. I was last there back in September of 2020.
